There’s no disagreement that companies have to follow whatever regulations apply to them. That part is straightforward and has always been the case.
Where things drift off course is when everything is evaluated through a single state’s database or under one familiar set of legacy names. Private companies often have far more complex structures, and a lot of factors never get accounted for in these discussions.
Examples:
• parent and child company structures
• umbrella corporations
• foreign registrations
• entities registered in other states
• reorganizations and mergers
• DBAs that don’t match historical names
• multistate licensing under one parent
• tax-strategy entities
• non-PBM divisions that don’t require PBM registration
• operating agreements instead of direct registrations
• out-of-state or virtual business addresses
• dormant vs active entities
• filings that only appear in federal systems
Because of all that, an absence in one state’s portal doesn’t confirm anything on its own. It only shows what isn’t listed under that specific search term in that specific database.
As for the bigger picture, there are plenty of interpretations and plenty of guesses. After being here long enough, the healthiest place to sit is steady, neutral, and cautiously optimistic. No hype, no negativity. Just letting the process unfold and seeing where things land.
