A “Favored Nations Clause” against Big Pharma, which I signed last week, means that the USA gets a price on Prescription Drugs that matches the price of the Country that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World. 50%, 60%, maybe 70% reduction. No other President would do this!

So.,.... been waiting for Miliman study from Florida AHCA was supposed to be done end of June. Then said results would be out in August. Wonder if that will happen? Will staff get thrown under the bus or will Florida AHCA out themselves as letting MCOs take advantage of Rx pricing

The CVS Pharmacy that I am forced to go to (steered to) just told me that they don’t have my prescription till April 6th. This is crazy. Steerage should not be allowed in our states pharmacy plan. #pbmreform is needed ASAP.

PBMs: “We don’t steer patients to fill prescriptions at pharmacies we own.” Also PBMs:

Thank you Chair Clay Yarborough, Finance and Facilities committee members & the public for your support of HB 1155. Looking forward to continuing the efforts to reform #PBMs which will reduce the cost of health care to taxpayers and protect patients access to their medications.
