In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine how independent pharmacies are being squeezed by stagflation's double blow: rising costs and stagnant reimbursement rates. They focus on a specific case: a family-owned pharmacy in Ohio that has seen its gross margin on generic drugs shrink from 22% to 11% over the past 18 months, while foot traffic drops 8% year-over-year. The hosts discuss how pharmacy benefit managers are tightening the screws, why patients are skipping refills, and what the latest CPI data on medical care costs (up 3.1% in May) means for the industry. They also touch on the broader implications for rural healthcare access. A concrete look at a local business under macroeconomic pressure. #Stagflation #IndependentPharmacies #PharmacyBenefitManagers #HealthcareCosts #CPI #GenericDrugs #RuralHealthcare #Ohio #SmallBusiness #PBM #Inflation #SlowGrowth #ReimbursementRates #Economics #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #LucasAndLuna #HealthcareEconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
