Your Healthcare Freedom Is Being Stolen – Help Us Fight Back
Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) are not just forcing us out of business – they’re taking away your right to choose your healthcare.

The Crisis You Didn’t Know Was Happening
Imagine walking into your trusted pharmacy, only to be told your insurance won’t cover your medication there anymore. You’re forced to switch—without warning, without choice.

For nearly 60 years, Village Green Apothecary has been more than just a pharmacy.

We’re the ones who:
✅ Know that Sarah’s children need flavored medications to take them without struggle.
✅ Understand that John’s arthritis makes child-proof caps impossible.
✅ Help Mary synchronize her prescriptions so her daughter can pick them up all at once.

But giant insurance companies, known as PBMs, (like CVS/Caremark,) are systematically destroying your right to choose where you get your healthcare—and we need your help to fight back.

The Hidden Threat to Your Healthcare
You may have already felt it:

⭕️ Being forced to switch pharmacies because your insurance “no longer covers” the one you trust.
⭕️ Changing medications you’ve relied on for years because your insurance prefers a different drug (one that makes them more money).
⭕️ Watching your prescription costs skyrocket while insurance companies report record-breaking profits.
⭕️ Talking to a different pharmacist every time you need help—none of whom know your history.

This isn’t a mistake. It’s a calculated strategy by the big 3 Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) - CVS/Caremark, ExpressScripts and OptumRX—massive middlemen owned by insurance giants CVS/Aetna, Cigna, and United Healthcare. These companies:

Each with revenue over $100 billion a year and billions in annual profit.

They control where you get your medications, how much you pay, and what drugs you’re allowed to take.

The Devastating Reality
Here’s how they’re shutting down independent pharmacies like ours:
We serve our community, providing medications and personalized care. Months later, PBMs demand we pay back hundreds of thousands of dollars—money we’ve already spent caring for you.

So far, they’ve taken $230,000 from us. Now, they’re demanding another $370,000, creating a huge loss in revenue and causing us to layoff some of our cherished staff.

⭕️ Imagine your employer demanding half your paycheck back months after you earned it.
⭕️ Imagine losing your trusted pharmacy and being forced into a faceless, corporate system that puts profits over people.

That’s what’s happening. And if we don’t fight back, 1 in 3 independent pharmacies (6,000 of the remaining 18,000) are at risk of closing within the next year.

This Is Your Fight Too

When your local pharmacy closes, you lose:
  • Your right to choose where you get your healthcare.
  • Access to pharmacists who know you and your family.
  • Personalized care and consultation tailored to your needs.
  • A healthcare partner who puts people before profit.
  • Competitive pricing that keeps drug costs down.

If we don’t act now, the corporations win—and you lose control over your own healthcare.

What Your Support Will Do
We refuse to let this happen without a fight. Your donation will help us:
  • Legally challenge unfair PBM practices.
  • Expose how PBMs manipulate your healthcare choices.
  • Support legislation that protects independent pharmacies and your right to choose.
  • Ensure we can continue to serve you with personalized care.
