flag Arkansas law banning PBMs from owning pharmacies triggers closures, threatening rural access to drugs.

flag Arkansas is facing a wave of pharmacy closures in rural areas due to a legal clash over Act 624, which bans pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from owning pharmacies. flag The law, aimed at reducing conflicts of interest and lowering drug prices, has prompted major PBMs to challenge it, leading to financial and operational strain on pharmacies. flag As closures continue, rural residents are losing access to essential medications, raising concerns about healthcare equity. flag Meanwhile, the state maintains the law strengthens transparency and competition, while the outcome of the legal battle could reshape drug pricing policies nationwide.
