Federal Judge Blocks Arkansas Pharmacy Benefit Law

Imagine companies called PBMs that help decide which medicines you can get and how much they cost.

Arkansas made a law that said these PBMs couldn't own pharmacies.

But a judge said the law couldn't be used yet.

The judge thought the law might be unfair to out-of-state companies.

The companies, like CVS and Express Scripts, sued the state over the law.

Now, the state is going to try to convince a higher court that the law is okay.
