The supply chain that brings pharmaceutical drugs from the factory to the pharmacy is long, complex and unclear. Congress and several state legislatures have proposed or enacted laws to bring more transparency and curb soaring drug prices. As PBS special correspondent Fred de Sam Lazaro reports in a story that includes his own independent pharmacist – NCPA member John Hoeschen of St. Paul Corner Drug in Saint Paul, Minn. – many small or independent pharmacies say the system also hurts them. NCPA CEO Douglas Hoey also spoke with a producer for this story to provide context.
