Healthcare decisions are personal. Where you see a doctor, how you receive treatment, and where you fill a prescription depend on your health, your finances, where you live, and what your insurance does and does not cover. Decisions like access to care and costs should not be made by the state legislature. 

 

In May 2026, Tennessee enacted the FAIR Rx Act which limits patients’ access to affordable and close pharmacies. We opposed this legislation because it narrows the choices available to patients and does nothing to lower the expected cost increases. Rural communities, veterans, seniors, and patients with serious illnesses are the most vulnerable, and the Tennessee General Assembly just made their lives harder.  

​

We support Tennessean’s freedom to choose their care, their treatments, and the pharmacy and prescription delivery method that best suits them and their health plan coverage. State law should protect that freedom, and should never favor Big Pharma over access to care. 

​

Tennesseans will vote on Nov. 3 for who they would like to see in the Tennessee General Assembly for the next two years. Email your legislators today and ask how important affordable and accessible pharmacy care is to them so you can make an informed decision on election day.
