Cigna is making customers choose between CVS or Walgreens network. Independents are included in both networks. Interesting 🤔

There’s a concerted effort to switch people from Medicare A/B to Advantage plans. Insurances are giving low income patients $100-500 per month in OTC credits. The same Advantage plans that were found to overcharge Medicare. System is broken.

PBMs are running big PR campaigns to push back on the idea that they are price setters in the prescription drug supply chain. Our latest report shows that not only are they setting drug prices; they are creating two very different drug pricing realities. 3axisadvisors.com/projects/2024/…

Also Eric Burlison, you believe that Big Pharma and PBMs are enemies? Oh wait……yeah, you are from Missouri. You have the Express Scripts connection. Nice try. I hope your voters see you for what you are.

Repeating COMPETITIVE over and over again, at oversight hearing, does NOT make you competitive. #fuckPBMs

Reminder....there is NO SUCH THING as a "specialty" drug. This is a made up category of meds so that your PBM can exhort the plan sponsor for thousands of dollars.

LOL Incredible. A PUTT member responded to Express Scripts' rejection of negotiations and copied James Comer @repjamescomer on the email. Adam Kautzner is guilty of perjury. #Pharmacy #TwitteRx

NY Just passed a bill that among other things, “allows pharmacists to discuss the pharmacy's own reimbursement rates with patients.” Which I was doing anyway, but now it’s “legal” S9040 Via: @nysenate: nysenate.gov/legislation/bi…

There is overwhelming evidence that PBMs and retail pharmacy cannot coexist as is. PBM reform needs to happen quickly at the state and federal level. The country can survive without PBMs, but not without pharmacies. Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 Chuck Grassley Ron Wyden Senator Mike Crapo

Funny how Caremark can manipulate generic reimbursement at their whim. No oversight whatsoever. Millions lost in Arkansas, tens of millions gained elsewhere. Metformin 12/24 $0.92 1/25 $4.40 4/25 $1.05

❗️Listen to & share my tearful comments to the Arkansas Senate pleading with them to please move forward with the nation's first attempt to break up the health insurance and PBM/Pharmacy monopolies. For the first time, my children sat in the same room. "So many legislators and
