Dear Georgia Pharmacist,
Our colleagues at the Arkansas Pharmacy Association need your help to help you!
Hopefully by now you’ve read or heard that the Supreme Court of the United States has agreed to hear an appeal filed by the State of Arkansas regarding the 8th Circuits Court decision on ERISA.*
Our colleagues at the Arkansas Pharmacy Association have asked for help from state pharmacy associations across the US to offset some of the massive legal costs that this appeal is going to generate including writing an amicus brief in support of Arkansas’ position. We’re talking hundreds of thousands of dollars in costs that if decided in our favor, will benefit pharmacy in every state.
So, here’s the ask: GPhA will match dollar for dollar, up to the first $2,500 received from GPhA members. Any amount of contribution is appreciated. And, if we raise more than our $5,000 goal, anything above the goal will go to the Arkansas Association as well.
Helping is easy. Just click here to a make a contribution to the Arkansas Pharmacists Association to help it fight the PBMs! [No log in is necessary. Just click through the pop up box.] Or mail your check made out to the Arkansas Pharmacy Association to GPhA at the address below and we’ll forward it to them.
NCPA for its invaluable help, guidance, and support of the Arkansas effort. NCPA together with the Arkansas Pharmacists Association filed a brief supporting the state before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, and will file a similar brief before the U.S. Supreme Court. NCPA and APA are working shoulder to shoulder in this fight against the PBMs.
You can find practically anything you want to know about the history of the Arkansas law and the appeal on the NCPA website here.
