Episode 5: GPOs, Small Business Economics, & a Sweet Tea

Did you know that Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs) are PBMs' even more shadowy twin, and they're being formed to add additional layers of complexity into the drug pricing market?

Listen in as the PUTT Cocktail Crew welcomes Texas independent pharmacy owner Brandi Chane, and patient advocate Julie Hoffman to the table. From the dangers of GPOs, to copay accumulators, pharmacy deserts, "loss leaders", and their destructive economic effect on small business pharmacies and their patients - it's an illuminating conversation you don't want to miss!
