Express Scripts, the Good Guy on Drug Prices? Not Exactly

The pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) last week proposed a radical pricing shift for a new set of migraine medicines. You’d think these moves might soften regulators’ stance as they ponder the potential impact on consumers of the company’s $54 billion takeover by Cigna. But Express Scripts’ efforts to play the good guy may end up being good for appearances only.
