‘Spread pricing’ is when the #PBM receives 💰 from a 3rd party, in this case, Medicaid, and decides to keep a chunk of it for themselves. I don’t call spread pricing. I call it thievery It Who ARE these people who would argue against the numbers in an audit? That’s crazy talk.

The future for American 🇺🇸 patients is even more big corporate monopolized machines siphoning 💰from their pockets, especially those with chronic disease, should @linakhanFTC be removed as FTC chair. She’s been a bright spot of light ☀️ in exposing BIG #PBM #GPO private equity

Pharmacists, wear a black lab coat to protest PBM abuse and demand that we pass The Pharmacists Fight Back Act HR 9096! For patients, for pharmacies, for healthcare! #PBMBlackout #9096OrDie #PharmacistsFightBack #pharmacy #PBM #healthcarereform #twitteRx

In opposing 9096, PBMs claim mailorder pharmacies save $$. APCI reviewed Fed plan with req mail order after 2 fills. The PBM mailorder pharmacy was more expensive than the independent pharmacy on 79 of 100 most commonly prescribed drugs. PUTT bit.ly/apci-insights-…
