As pharmacies close, Ohio Chamber blasted for siding with middlemen
The Ohio Chamber of Commerce in Columbus, Ohio. (Photo by Graham Stokes for Ohio Capital Journal. Republish photo only with original article.) Owners of small pharmacies — many themselves members of local chambers of commerce — are accusing the Ohio Chamber of Commerce of siding with huge corporate middlemen who are driving them out of business. That undermines Ohioans' health and costs the state's businesses and taxpayers far more in the long run, the pharmacists say. Pharmacies of all sizes are battling with drug middlemen known as pharmacy benefit managers, or PBMs, over provisions in the state budget governing how prescription drugs are priced and how pharmacies are paid for dispensing them. Measures intended to help pharmacies were built into the Ohio House version of the state operating budget, stripped out by the Ohio Senate, and are now in the hands of a conference committee working against a June 30 deadline. New data show Ohio pharmacy closures even worse than originally thought Ohio and other states have been hemorrhaging pharmacies for years, and at an accelerating pace. Last year, Ohio lost 215 pharmacies and the total number dropped below 2,000 for the first time in memory, according to an online tracker launched by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy. That creates serious health concerns, especially in underserved areas where many face health and transportation challenges. The loss of a community's sole pharmacy can make it nearly impossible for some to get their medicine or professional advice about how to manage their diabetes or blood pressure. Closures of isolated pharmacies creates deserts, and they're growing. In Meigs County in Southeastern Ohio, for example, nearly 40% of the census tracts are part of what the pharmacy board calls pharmacy deserts. 'As more pharmacies close in Ohio, we're going to see poorer health — we're not going to see positive outcomes,' said Denise Conway, owner of Conway's Danville Pharmacy. 'We're going to see more ER visits. It's just going to cost employers more.' CVS in 2017 bought and closed the Lonsinger's, the sole pharmacy in Danville, leaving the nearest one in Mount Vernon, 12 miles away. 'One man broke down crying,' librarian Betty Carpenter in 2019 told The Columbus Dispatch about an elderly resident. 'He said, 'I can't walk to Mount Vernon.' He could walk to Lonsinger's.' Also in 2019, Conway and her husband bought a Danville building and opened a pharmacy there while Knox County opened a health clinic on the premises. It was a rare example of a health care desert restored to life. Other Ohio communities aren't likely to be so fortunate. SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE 'We're down to about 300 independents,' said Dave Burke, a pharmacist, former state senator and executive director of the Ohio Pharmacists Association. 'We're really afraid as an organization that people are going to lose access to care. Care that keeps them out of the hospital. Care that shortens their stay in the hospital. And care that keeps them employed.' Burke and many other pharmacists blame the rush of closures on the conduct of the big PBMs, the middlemen that are part of giant corporations. They decide on behalf of insurers what drugs are covered, and they decide how much to reimburse pharmacies for the drugs they dispense. The three biggest PBMs — CVS Caremark, OptumRX and Express Scripts — control nearly 80% of the covered prescriptions in the United States. Critics say that enables them to extract huge, non-transparent discounts from drugmakers. They say it also enables them to force pharmacies into disadvantageous, take-it-or-leave-it contracts. Critics say that reimbursements under them are low and that they impose arbitrary rules and fees. Each of the big-three PBMs is part of a vertically integrated, Fortune 15 health conglomerate. Each of those also owns a top-10 health insurer. In addition, CVS owns the largest retail pharmacy chain and they all own mail-order pharmacies. So the big three get to decide how much to reimburse their own pharmacies as well as those of their competitors. Pharmacists and their advocates say the disputed language in the state budget would end those conflicts and rectify many problems. It would prohibit PBMs from imposing rules (and subsequently charging fees) that go beyond those of the Ohio Board of Pharmacy. It would end the murky system of reimbursements by requiring PBMs to pay pharmacies the prices listed in a public database — the National Average Drug Acquisition Cost, or NADAC, survey. And it would require PBMs to pay pharmacies roughly $10 for each prescription they dispense. With the NADAC reimbursement meant to ensure pharmacies break even on the drugs, the dispensing fees are meant to cover overhead such as payroll, supplies, rent, and insurance. 'By definition the calculation is break-even,' Burke said. 'You are paying (Medicaid's) post-rebate cost of the drug. The only way to cover the bottle, the cost of the lid, the bag, the heat, the lights, the payroll is the dispensing fee.' The provisions that the state Senate stripped out of its budget version mirror reforms the Ohio Department of Medicaid undertook in 2022. Following concerns among pharmacists and investigations by a newspaper and the state auditor, the department mounted its own probe of drug transactions. It learned that in 2017, two PBMs — CVS Caremark and OptumRx — billed the state $224 million more for drugs than they paid the pharmacies that had bought and dispensed them. The Medicaid department fired the PBMs, created its own, single PBM, based reimbursements on the NADAC survey and started paying pharmacists a $10 per-prescription dispensing fee. Despite the higher reimbursements and dispensing fees, an analysis released earlier this year found that the new arrangement saved the state $140 million. That led many to conclude that the middlemen were skimming a hefty portion of the money flowing through the system. Ohio Medicaid got rid of big middlemen, paid pharmacies more and saved $140 million, report says Even so, applying the same rules to non-Medicaid transactions would 'harm small businesses and their employees,' said Rick Carfagna, a former state representative who is now the senior vice president of government affairs at the Ohio Chamber of Commerce. 'PBMs are business-to-business entities, and they exist only because a company or health plan hires them,' Carfagna said in an email. 'When you increase dispensing fees on a per-prescription basis, you're impacting the ability of employers, including small businesses, local governments and labor organizations, to balance their budgets by controlling their health care costs. These increased fees eventually find their way downstream, in whole or in part, to all of those employers utilizing PBMs.' Carfagna didn't respond directly when asked whether Ohio's independent and small-chain pharmacies are themselves small businesses that have been rapidly disappearing. Conway, who is herself chair-elect of the Knox County Chamber of Commerce, said Carfagna and the Ohio Chamber used deceptive language in fighting for the PBMs. 'The Ohio Chamber in their testimony called the dispense fee a tax,' she said. 'It's by no means a tax. It's the cost of running a business. A dispense fee has always been built into the model of reimbursing a pharmacy. You can't put a zero there. It's the cost of running a business.' Burke, executive director of the Ohio Pharmacists Association, said the Ohio Chamber's position also ignores that Ohio Medicaid saved money when it increased dispensing fees and switched to a transparent system of reimbursements. Several other states, most recently Minnesota, have adopted similar arrangements. 'Every state that has gone to a transparent model hasn't gone back to the traditional one,' Burke said. 'They're saving money and they're not going back.' SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX

Planned Parenthood closes Cleveland facility; Cleveland Department of Public Health to fill gaps
[In the player above, watch previous FOX 8 News coverage on the Ohio Prenatal Equal Protection Act, which is legislation that would effectively ban abortion in the state.] CLEVELAND (WJW) — Planned Parenthood has closed its Cleveland Health Center facility at 7997 Euclid Ave., a move local officials said was 'driven by federal pressure and the Trump administration's freeze on Title X funding.' Now, the Cleveland Department of Public Health is stepping up to provide the 'essential' health services lost in the closure, 'to ensure that patients do not fall through the cracks,' according to a Tuesday news release from the health department. Browns' dome deal done: New stadium ready by 2029 'No one should have to go without essential reproductive and preventive health services,' department Director Dr. David Margolius said in the release. 'Our team is committed to making sure that everyone — regardless of income, ZIP code or insurance status — has access to the health care they need.' The department's neighborhood-based clinics and mobile health units 'stand ready' to provide services including: Birth control and family planning STD testing and treatment Pregnancy testing and counseling Wellness exams Tuberculosis testing Immunizations HPV and Gardasil vaccinations Same-day appointments are available and patients can also walk in. Anyone affected by the Planned Parenthood closure is urged to call 216-624-2324 or visit to find a clinic or schedule a visit. What the state's new flat income tax will mean for Ohioans Title X Family Planning Program funding has been disbursed to family planning clinics like Planned Parenthood for more than 50 years, according to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services website. But in March 2025, President Donald Trump's administration ordered that funding to be reduced or withheld entirely from providers in 23 states, including Ohio. 'While political decisions in Washington continue to threaten public health infrastructure, CDPH remains steadfast in our mission: to protect and promote the health and well-being of every Cleveland resident,' the release said.

‘It is time for a change.' Dr. Amy Acton talks about running for Ohio governor, reflects on COVID-19
Dr. Amy Acton, currently the only Democratic candidate running for Ohio Governor, spoke at the City Club of Cleveland on June 25. (Screenshot) During a recent forum, former Ohio Department of Health Director Dr. Amy Acton emphasized her role as a public servant, not a politician, in her 2026 run for governor. Acton is currently the sole Democratic candidate running for Ohio Governor in the 2026 election. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX 'I am a doctor. I'm definitely not a politician, but I have been a lifelong public servant,' Acton said last week during a forum at the City Club of Cleveland. 'I'm running for governor because people in Ohio are struggling, and we continue to go backwards on nearly every measure because of special interests and bad actors at our Statehouse who keep taking us in the wrong direction,' she said. 'It is time for a change, and I hear this everywhere I go.' Acton gave a 30 minute speech which included talking about experiencing homelessness as a child, serving as the ODH director during the COVID-19 pandemic, Ohio's need for change, and kindness. 'All too often, kindness is mistaken for weakness, and that is a big mistake,' she said. 'Everywhere I go, people are telling me that they want public servants again. They want us solving the problems of everyday life that we all face that aren't political.' Those problems, she said, include the cost of living, aging in place, child care, safety, and schools. She also spoke out against gerrymandering, lack of maternity units in hospitals, and cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. She also highlighted the importance of working together to tackle issues facing Ohioans. 'You get people from every sector around the table because the wicked hard things we face, like housing affordability, can't be solved by one area alone,' she said. 'It can't be solved by government alone. It takes non-profits and academics and universities and businesses all around the table trying to row in the same direction.' Acton, who is open about the struggles she experienced as a child, grew up in Youngstown. 'I had a very, very rough childhood, very bad abuse and neglect up to the age of 12 (and) ultimately ended up homeless in the middle of winter,' she said. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine appointed Acton to be ODH director in 2019 and she quickly became a household name in Ohio during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. She accompanied DeWine during his daily afternoon press conferences in the spring of 2020 and helped translate complex medical terminology into plain English. 'It was a profound honor to lead during COVID,' she said. 'We literally flatten the curve. There's great data now that shows it, and Ohioans rallied in every possible way. We saved a lot of lives, but most importantly, we're also able to open earlier than a lot of places and get back to our lives because we took decisive action.' She received a mix of praise and criticism, and protesters showed up to her Bexley house. Acton resigned as state health director in June 2020 — months after Ohio's first confirmed COVID-19 case. She said she didn't step down because of the backlash she was receiving, but instead it was because she refused to sign an order. 'There was an order that was so egregious I could not do it … because it would have broken the Hippocratic Oath, it would have hurt people,' she said. 'I could not sign my name to that order.' Acton said she was originally approached to run for office by two prominent Ohio Democrats — former Ohio Gov. Dick Celeste and former U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown, 'because I have a very strange constituency that does not know party, a bond formed during COVID.' Democrats are waiting to see if Brown will run for Senate or Ohio governor, or nothing at all. Currently, gaming and technology businessman Chris Volpe, of Columbus, is the only announced Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in 2026. The Ohio Republican Party endorsed businessman Vivek Ramaswamy. Former Morgan County school board president Heather Hill is the only other GOP candidate running for governor, but Lt. Gov. Jim Tressel previously said he is considering running. Current Republican Ohio Auditor Keith Faber is running for attorney general in 2026; current Republican Ohio Treasurer Robert Sprague is running for secretary of state in 2026; and current Republican Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose is running for auditor in 2026. Bryan Hambley, a cancer doctor with University of Cincinnati Health, is the only announced Democratic candidate for Ohio Secretary of State. Former state representative Elliot Forhan has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Ohio Attorney General. No Democrats have yet announced their candidacy in 2026 for Ohio auditor or treasurer. Follow Capital Journal Reporter Megan Henry on Bluesky. SUPPORT: YOU MAKE OUR WORK POSSIBLE
