States already have pharmacy deserts. PBM reforms make it worse

Pharmacy access issues are already a significant problem in many parts of the country, but proposed reforms targeting pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) might exacerbate the situation. State-level efforts to tackle healthcare concerns could unintentionally hinder access to local pharmacies for millions of people, especially in high-poverty areas. This could lead to increased healthcare disparities, highlighting a complex challenge where well-intentioned reforms may have unintended negative consequences for everyday Americans.
