Citing concerns about the potentially devastating impact on community pharmacies and patient care, the Pennsylvania Pharmacy Councl (PPC) announced opposition to the proposed Express Scripts and Medco merger.

"One of the most successful innovations in pharmacy care has been the trend to meet people where they are.  We make pharmacy care easy for consumers to access, and for many, we are their preferred source of care.  A Medco/ESI merger would take away that choice," said Randy St. John, PPC Senior Vice President.
