On this episode we were blessed to have on Kyle McCormick, owner/operator of Blueberry Pharmacy, to explain his unique (but traditionally familiar) business model. Blueberry operates on a cost-plus model and DOES NOT ACCEPT INSURANCE. Crazy? Maybe not. Kyle explains why he thinks we need different payment systems for cheap generics than expensive brand names, circumventing PBMs when they aren't necessary.

Hear it here straight from the Roche's mouth. Bad joke, sorry. But seriously, give @b_roche a listen and get yourself some Red Oil.
