Important step from U.S. FDA and USPTO to reduce drug costs by looking at gaming of the system. “Our patent system must not be used to unjustifiably delay generic drugs and biosimilar competition”. news.bloomberglaw.com/pharma-and-lif…

In case you missed it last week, another important perspective on PBMs, this time by Ike Brannon, on the regulatory and policy landscape, and what it will take to actually lower drug prices . forbes.com/sites/ikebrann…

Great to gather with friends to help with the harvest from St Andrew’s Garden of Hope, delivering produce for those in need in Arlington County. Volunteers always welcome - plenty of work to be done to keep the garden going. Let me know if you’re interested in joining!

21 years ago today, too many lives lost and so many lives saved. Grateful this building and our system of government stand strong.

I grew up on the Gulf Coast and know the heavy toll a storm like #hurricaneian can take and how long the recovery can be. Glad to be with my PCMA colleagues to make a small contribution to the recovery.

Flu shot in the arm today. Better late than never. And just in time to wish the awesome #pharmacist at our neighborhood grocery a happy American Pharmacists Month. Great to see many others there for flu shots and boosters.

The elections aren’t only about Congress (tho that’s important too). County board, school board, and several ballot initiatives on funding for new projects. Get out and vote, #ArlingtonCounty. You can even vote early!

A beautiful morning to unload Christmas trees. Thank you to friends from #PhoenixHouse for the help setting up. Sales start Friday morning at St. Andrews in Arlington. I’m working the afternoon shift - come by if you want me to set you up with a tree this year!

PBMs provide affordable access to Rx drugs for 266M people, while offering plan sponsors the option of zero / low cost sharing on many drugs, including insulin. Without PBMs, the savings they negotiate, and drug coverage, patients would pay high list prices.
