Pharmacist-legislator Ryan pushes Medicaid hike in Illinois
Pharmacist-legislator and House Minority Leader George Ryan pressed for a higher Medicaid pharmacist dispensing fee. He lobbied for a boosted rate from 2.35 to 2.75 dollars and received a $1,000 campaign contribution in May from the Illinois Pharmaceutical Association. Ryan says there is no conflict of interest as he has no control over who brings in prescriptions to his family pharmacy.
