The Prescription Drug Cost Crisis Isn't What You Think... It's Worse.

Prescription drug costs are skyrocketing, but the real story isn't just about "Big Pharma." It's about the powerful middlemen who sit between manufacturers, pharmacies, insurers, and patients.
Most employers believe their pharmacy benefit plan is working to save money. The truth? Many are trapped in contracts that do the opposite.

Side Effects May Include, the companion book to the widely discussed documentary film, reveals how PBMs - the little-known gatekeepers of prescription drug access - manipulate pricing, pocket hidden profits, and leave employers paying more while employees shoulder the burden at the pharmacy counter.

Building on the film's exposé, this book dives even deeper, unpacking spread pricing, rebate schemes, and formulary manipulation. Employers will also find practical steps they can take immediately to cut waste, demand accountability, and align their benefit programs with fiduciary responsibility. For business leaders, HR professionals, and plan sponsors, this book is both a warning and a roadmap for reclaiming control of one of their largest expenses.
