Pharmacy Goes to the U.S. Supreme Court | Locked on Pharmacy

For the first time ever, the U.S. Supreme Court is hearing a case that may determine the future of pharmacy for years to come. In Rutledge v. PCMA, which originated in Arkansas, the Court has been asked to decide if states can regulate the controversial business practices of pharmacy benefit managers. Oral arguments will be heard Oct. 6 in this potentially landmark case. The American Pharmacists Association joined several other pharmacy organizations in filing an amicus brief, submitting arguments to support the state of Arkansas. Guests: Ilisa Bernstein, PharmD Senior VP for Pharmacy Practice and Government Affairs, APhA John Vinson, PharmD Chief Executive Officer, Arkansas Pharmacists Association For further information visit www.pharmacist.com/scotus See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
