Drug Benefit News & Me

I am pleased to announce that I have joined the Editorial Board of Drug Benefit News (DBN), one of my must-read publications about the pharmacy, managed care, and pharmacy benefit industries.

If you enjoy Drug Channels, then you should subscribe to DBN. Just so you know, there's nothing in it for me in making this suggestion.

BTW, you will understand a lot more about me and the Drug Channels blog when I tell you that three of my favorite publications are:

• The Economist
• Drug Benefit News
• Entertainment Weekly

Yes, really.
