Pharmacies say that leaves them with no negotiating leverage, so they’re forced to sign contracts in which the middlemen use a non-transparent system to reimburse them for the drugs they buy and dispense. ow.ly/v9hX50V2KHx

Dear Patients, PBMs don’t lower the cost of prescription drugs. They rob the profits of small business and you of choice. Sincerely, Every Pharmacy Professional in America

Why is Eliquis so expensive?

🚨NEW: At least 326 pharmacies -- 237 of them independent -- have closed since Congress tanked PBM reform last Dec at the behest of Elon Musk. Without reform, PBMs will continue to wield their market power to squeeze out pharmacies and hurt communities across the country.

We are on the verge of a tsunami of closings nationwide if significant PBM reform is not enacted immediately. Many are hanging by a thread.

PBMs ❤️ their #independentpharmacy "partners" and work hard to reduce drug prices for their #patients? #APRILFOOLS #PBMReformNOW

I just filled 7 rxs for a long time patient. My total pay for those 7 was a whopping $6.79 for all combined. Even a dollar store makes more than that. Even if the drugs, the bottles, the lids, the labels, the electric etc was free, in what world is that fair?

There’s isn’t one single independent owner that is surprised by this. Imagine what happens when they finally force all of us to close. How can anyone justify this practice?

This is absolute gold. Every independent owner got these letters. Turn about is fair game

If you want to know who's driving up drug costs, follow the money. Drugmakers earn 10.3% returns. Middlemen? Over 40%. Policymakers are targeting the wrong culprit. dcjournal.com/the-real-profi…

How can every independent say the same exact thing in every state but the Pbms say it isn’t them? At what point is it about does anyone in our government actually help us? How much profits do they actually need? Why can’t anyone see that the real reason costs are high is the pbm?

A newly signed federal spending package introduces major reforms to pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). These changes follow findings that major PBMs generated billions through pricing practices that disadvantaged independent pharmacies. Learn more at safemedicines.org/wp-content/upl…
