The author of this article expresses concern that a bill in Nashville, Tennessee, which would ban Pharmacy Benefit Managers from owning pharmacies could set up more intrusive government. The bill's sponsor, State Sen. Bobby Harshbarger, runs a pharmacy company in the state and his mother, Rep. Diana, currently serves in the U.S. House of Representatives advocating for stricter regulation of PBMs. The author argues that the bill represents all that's wrong with big government and will result in the closure of pharmacies across Tennessee. There are also concerns about conflicts of interest, as the sponsor's mother is also a pharmacist and a former legislator. The article concludes that while free-market competition is a key reason Tennessee remains attractive to businesses and residents, these recent developments could jeopardize the state's business climate.
