In an interview with Pharmacy Times, Ron Lanton III, Esq, principal at Lanton Law, said entrepreneur Mark Cuban's new venture into the pharmacy field is very interesting, although it maybe just another player in the mail-order pharmacy market.

In the interview, Lanton discussed the company's steep discounts on drugs in a myriad of disease states, as well as the company's pharmacy benefits manager, which is expected to be operational in 2023. Ultimately, Lanton said the company's broader impacts on the pharmacy field and drug pricing remain to be seen, although several other legislative efforts to lower drug prices have been discussed in recent years.
