When Standard Oil controlled the flow of energy, it didn’t just compete—it decided who could access the market. When AT&T dominated telecommunications, it didn’t just provide service—it controlled who could connect.   And today, pharmacy benefit managers—companies like CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx—have taken on a similar role in healthcare.   They don’t manufacture medications. They don’t prescribe them.   But they decide which drugs patients can access… where they can get them… and at what cost.   This isn’t just about competition. It’s about control.   History shows us what happens when too much power is concentrated in too few hands—we act.   And for the sake of patients and the pharmacies that serve them, it’s time to take a hard look again.

I know CVS loves making “S.O.S.” signs, so I asked @grok to make one up for the independent pharmacy owners.

The PAPA bill will strengthen local pharmacies and expand patient access to essential care across New York. Right now, this bill is stalled in the Assembly—even as other legislation, like the patient‑notification bill, moved quickly. That contrast sends a troubling message: that highlighting barriers to care is being prioritized over actually fixing them. The Assembly leader  needs to hear directly from the people who rely on their pharmacies every day. Let them know that care close to home matters, and that the PAPA bill deserves a vote. @fairychloeee @CarlHeastieNY
