"The rebates create a powerful incentive for higher drug prices, which is completely upside-down," says Douglas Hoey. "We are very pleased that the FTC is seeking to end that practice." ncpa.org/newsroom/news-… #FinishTheFight

Independent Pharmacists & their teams save lives. In the case of 22-YO Cole Schmidtknecht, PBM business practices contributed to his death.

Everyone let your House Members and Senators know!! Retweet, tag, etc etc

Don't let Big Insurance and their PBM cronies continue to increase drug prices & drive small businesses out of the communities that need them the most. Finish PBM reform in this Congress! Senator Tim Kaine Mark Warner Don Beyer

GOP leaders can help make drugs more affordable & make sure their constituents have access to local pharmacy small businesses!

This is it, independent pharmacy owners. Time to unleash the Kraken!!

Congratulations, Congressman! Thank you for your work on behalf of patients & the pharmacists & other Healthcare providers serving them!

You summed it up perfectly, Sarah Huckabee Sanders Legislation to save $5B & clean up the PBMs act was collateral damage in the gov't funding bill fiasco. USCongress, pass it as a standalone bill in January. Elon Musk Donald J. Trump Department of Government Efficiency

Whether its horrific wildfires or delivering a prescription to the doorstep of the home of a sick child, Independent pharmacy owners are there for patients when people need them the most!

Thank you Sarah Huckabee Sanders for setting a leadership example nationally to protect Arkansans access to lower cost medications & their local pharmacy! Thank you for standing up to Big Insurance lobby & their millions of out of state $$$ trying to sway u to keep the broken status quo!

Big insurance and PBMs are one & the same..."Where there's mystery, there's margin"--costing employers and taxpayers billions of dollars in higher cost prescriptions.

Not to cross regulatory streams but we need strong FTC oversight of PBMs to protect competition & consumers. Here's the latest hand in the cookie jar moment for CVS: oklahoma.gov/oag/news/newsr… . Kudos to Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond Michael Leake

I'm all for marketplace solutions but the pharmacy marketplace is broken & taxpayers, pharmacies, & patients are all paying the price. Allowing the guys responsible for breaking it to self-police doesn't work.

Patients should be able to get low, net priced Rxs at their local pharmacy--not have to chase them down. Community Pharmacists are ready, willing & able to help make TrumpRx & DTC programs a win for making AHA! Donald J. Trump Secretary Kennedy reuters.com/world/us-pharm…
