OPINION BY JUDGE CRAIG, May 23, 1979:

Plaintiffs, operators of pharmacies in Philadelphia filed a complaint in equity and a petition for declaratory judgment against the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) in this Court, invoking our original jurisdiction. The actions challenge the validity of Section 9413.61 of DPW'S Medical Assistance (MA) regulations, which provides a discount pass-through to pharmacies which do a large volume of medical assistance business.
