Under the Counter
In Under the Counter, insider Greg Baker goes against the grain of his own industry by exposing the corrupt practices of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) to explain why prescription drugs cost so much—and what you can do about it.
Like an experienced tour guide, Baker leads you through the complex and frustrating world of PBMs and how they operate. Like a mafia organization straight out of The Godfather, these companies—the three largest ones in particular—demand outrageous rebates from drug manufacturers while failing to pass on those discounts to consumers. But Under the Counter is not a dry textbook—rather, it’s a story-driven, fast-paced, compelling narrative that fills in the blanks for people like you who know something just doesn’t add up when it comes to high drug prices.
Under the Counter is essential reading for everyone who cares about the health of their family and is not willing to be a victim of corrupt PBM practices any longer. It’s also a timely call to action for anyone who believes that access to affordable medication should be a right for every American.
