PBMs exposed in today's The New York Times in-depth investigation. Pharmacists, patients and taxpayers read: nytimes.com/2024/06/21/bus… PSSNY members, look for a federal call-to-action today and share! #pssny #ncpa

.Chuck Schumer NY Pharmacists urge you to read nytimes.com/2024/06/21/bus… and ACT for federal PBM reform. PBMs drive up drug costs for millions of people, employers and the gov't, and decimate community pharmacies. We will not be around much longer to do what we do in our communities

The PBM hired by TriCare, is out there trying to kill independent pharmacies by asking them to do a deal that pays them less than cost and ZERO for the work to actually fill the prescription. The Indy pharmacies are in a catch 22. They want to support all the service members

I think we all need to rally here and actually push APhA (American Pharmacists Association) to acknowledge all the bullshit that we are going through and to actually drop what they are doing and help us. It should be all hands-on-deck denouncing bullshit like MTM, Outcomes charging us, DIR fees,

Congress failed again to pass #PBMReform. Despite that Donald J. Trump said twice yesterday he wants to "cut out the middlemen." Despite that it would save $5 billion (looking at you, Department of Government Efficiency Elon Musk). Whatever Congress passes, whenever it passes it, must include #PBMReform.

I do know some who are part of this! This stand wasn't easy for some to make. For some, it's a desperate last opportunity to get legislators' & the public's attention to what PBMs are doing before their pharmacies are closed permanently. #StopPBMabuse The White House Senate Democrats

$CVS is close to joining the $100B quarter club... just behind $UNH. What's notable about the health care giants is that their revenues aren't multinational, like the big three $AMZN $WMT $AAPL

Is the Price Right?
