Benjamin Jolley is an independent pharmacist from a family of independent pharmacists—the first Jolley’s Compounding Pharmacy in Salt Lake City was founded by his grandfather, Joel, in 1954. Benjamin is a Senior Fellow for Healthcare at the American Economic Liberties Project and writes a newsletter about the pharmaceutical industry, Ramblings of a pharmacist, which is read by a number of influential people in the government and private sector.
Conveniently, Benjamin and I have known each other since kindergarten. I had him over two weeks ago to get a pharmacist’s view on the Byzantine bizarro world of the American pharmaceutical system. And believe me: it’s complicated. Despite years as outside counsel for a pharmaceutical manufacturer, I didn’t know the half of it, and maybe not the third.
