美源伯根（AmerisourceBergen）

????在你購(gòu)買的藥品背后,，是一個(gè)建立在藥品供應(yīng)、定價(jià)和補(bǔ)貼之上的完整產(chǎn)業(yè),，這也正是美源培根的業(yè)務(wù)所在,。2001年美源健康公司（Amerisource Health Corporation）和伯根布魯斯威格公司（Bergen Brunswing Corporation）合并，形成美源伯根,。如今,，這一整合后的公司掌握著全美20%的藥品分銷網(wǎng)絡(luò)，旗下全職員工多達(dá)13,400人,。

????為了應(yīng)對(duì)醫(yī)療改革（屆時(shí)政府將成為藥品采購(gòu)方面更強(qiáng)大的對(duì)手）,，制藥行業(yè)掀起了合并潮，企業(yè)紛紛壯大自己的力量,。為此,，美源伯根與快捷藥方（Express Scripts）簽署了一份為期3年的合同?？旖菟幏讲痪们皠偼瓿蓪?duì)美可保健公司（Medco Health）的收購(gòu),，雙方都是藥品供應(yīng)商和顧問(wèn)公司。2013年,，美源伯根與沃爾格林（Walgreen）和聯(lián)合博姿（Alliance Boots）又簽署了一項(xiàng)協(xié)議,。這項(xiàng)協(xié)議能使三方聯(lián)手的仿制藥采購(gòu)量超越行業(yè)內(nèi)任何其他公司。

AmerisourceBergen

????Behind the drugs you buy is an entire industry built on supplying, pricing, and subsidizing those meds, which is where AmerisourceBergen lives. The megapharma company was formed in 2001, when Amerisource Health Corporation merged with Bergen Brunswig Corporation. Today, the resulting hybrid handles 20% of all of the pharmaceuticals sold and distributed throughout the United States, and employs 13,400 people full-time.

????The pharma industry has undergone consolidation, with companies forming even larger units to prepare for health care reform, when the government will become an even more powerful drug-purchasing competitor. So AmerisourceBergen signed a three-year contract with Express Scripts, which had just bought Medco Health. Both Express Scripts and Medco are pharma suppliers and consultants. In 2013, AmeriSourceBergen penned a deal with Walgreen (WAG, Fortune 500) and Alliance Boots. The deal could give the triad the purchasing power to buy more generics than any other purchaser in the industry.
