    The idea is that an insurance company deals exclusively with one or several pharmacies in exchange for lower costs. Steve Morgan, a professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and an expert on pharmacare systems, said that “we don’t know exactly how much of the savings that are generated get passed on to the consumer at the end of the day.”
