Pharmacy Owner in Texas Reveals the Shocking Amount Insurance Companies Inflate Prescription Prices

Pharmacy Owner in Texas Reveals the Shocking Amount Insurance Companies Inflate Prescription Prices

Brad Hart is the owner of Forest Park Pharmacy in Fort Worth, Texas.  He switched to a wholesale "no-insurance" business model after he nearly had to close due to disappearing profit margins and having to compete with insurance company owned pharmacies.  

 

He claims Medicaid paid $590 million for 155,000 prescriptions of dimethyl feramate in 2022.  At Brad’s pharmacy, that would have cost $10 million, meaning the government overpaid by $580 million on one drug, in one year.   

 

Brad pulls back the curtain on how insurance company middlemen grossly inflate the cost of prescription drugs creating billions in profits for the insurance companies while the bill, as far as Medicaid in concerned, is laid at the feet of the tax paying public.
