Big insurance is fighting like hell to keep bipartisan PBM transparency and accountability reforms out of the CR because they’re putting profits over patients. We can’t let them win.

#PBM reform is long overdue. Congressman Brad Finstad and @fischbackMN7 Minnesotans need you to prioritize PBM delinking & transparency provisions to protect pharmacists and patients across MN. This ensures independent pharmacies can survive & patients can access affordable medicines.

If PBMs are willing to degrade the quality of healthcare in our nation in the name of outsized profits, they’ll certainly instruct PCMA to lie to members of congress. PASS PBM REFORM in this end of year package Speaker Mike Johnson Chuck Schumer Senator McConnell's Press Office Hakeem Jeffries Darin LaHood

Rep. Mike Bost Did you know that VETERANS in IL-12th district cannot fill their prescriptions at a local pharmacy because express scripts pays the pharmacy BELOW cost of the drug? Veterans Affairs PUTT Pass HR9096 so VETERANS can CHOOSE the Pharmacist they want to use.

Congress is on the verge of PBM reform, but the PBMs are pulling out all the stops. Contact your member of Congress and tell them to enact PBM reform NOW! No more kicking the can down the road. #FinishtheFight.

"Give me an example of why I should care about PBM reform." Drug for Multiple Sclerosis: Teriflunomide Cost: $16 What Caremark insurance reimburses their own "specialty" pharmacy: $6,229 A 38,000% markup. That profit markup is paid out of everyone's premiums with Caremark

There are $5 billion in savings from big insurance/PBM reform sitting there waiting. $5 BILLION isn’t a small amount even by DC standards.

NCPA Donald J. Trump Department of Government Efficiency Elon Musk Wait, what? A measure that saves $5 billion, and saves small businesses, and curbs the pirates who are robbing seniors and taxpayers, is shot down by the Department of Government Efficiency! This ain’t over.

This temporary funding bill is Donald Trump's Christmas gift to UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, and CVS Caremark. So much for 'knocking out the drug middlemen'. I'm voting No.

Two days ago, Trump was a hero to patients and pharmacies, now he has caved to the insurance lobby and demanded Republicans do a CR without PBM reform. So much for knocking out the middle men. Congress: put PBM reform back in the CR!

Enjoyed a great conversation with Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 & Todd Eury re The Pharmacists Fight Back Act & Patients Before Monopolies Act which cut to core of unfair PBM practices & their causes.

Putting this as a reminder of how twisted PBMs are as a primer for anyone who still doesnt see the problem. All credit goes to Mark Cuban Pinning this given the recent failure of Congress, thanks to Elon/Vivek.

I just spoke with another Indy pharmacy owner, he has a patient that works for a company that has a self funded health plan (they pay the claims). One of their employees had to go on humira- the pbm charged the plan $14,000. Every 28 days. The pharmacist/ owner found a
