Attention CVS Health white paper author, get your facts straight. The "F*** PBM" pins are PUTT's. Anne Cassity and NCPA are not involved. Check the bottom of the pin, it's clearly branded @truthrx. Also grow the F*** up. It's called satire, google it sometime.

How well do you know the PBM CEO's appearing in today's hearing? Optum's Dr Patrick Conway made big news here in NC when as NC BCBS CEO, he was CONVICTED of DWI & child abuse & the NC Insurance Commissioner demanded his resignation. 8 months later, United Health hired him.🧵

Adam Kautzner perjured himself a significant number of times today. He should be forced to produce data supporting his statements. All 3 are guilty, but Adam wins the Pinocchio award. It has to matter, you can’t simply lie to Congress. James Comer Lina Khan Departmentofjustice

Nothing says “I own PBM stock and I need it to bounce back”like Eric Burlison praising the PBMs at the congressional hearing today. Eric can you please visit 3 independent pharmacies and get an education? PBMs are not the friend of free markets, and they do NOT engage with us.

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.

RXavenger Eric Burlison We all have a choice, do we support PBMs or do we support patients? Do we support PBMs or do we support taxpayers? Do we support PBMs or do we support independent pharmacists?

Asking PBMs “What we can do to empower independent pharmacies” is like asking Russia what they can do to empower Ukraine. Eric Burlison is clearly uneducated on the tactics being utilized by PBMs. Can someone in that state or PUTT please help this man?

Nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come. The time for #PBMreform is now – Congress needs to pass HR 9096 [the Pharmacists Fight Back Act]

Anyone following the work of Lina Khan knows that she is 100% doing the job that she was hired to do. Make this make sense. Reid Hoffman

What are PBMs - the middlemen of drug pricing? x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Calling all Pharmacists! Help me keep the pressure on PBMs-tag #PharmacistsFightBack with the most outrageous Rx drug markup you've seen. Call & tag your Representatives & ask them to cosponsor the #PharmacistsFightBack Act. We need 25 Ds & 25 Rs by Thanksgiving.

We were asked to do a public service announcement in support of PBM Reform. We are doing everything we can to speak Cole’s name and advocate for major change in law for PBM’s. His life was cut short because of their greed and deceptive practices. #pbmreform 💔

This is where $BILLIONS of wasteful healthcare spending ends up in this country. We need PBM reform and our legislators to support and co-sponsor HR9096. This madness cannot continue.

Who else finds it interesting that PBMs(who simply do transactions but bill insurers excessively for administrative costs) pay me for ingredient cost (below acquisition in many cases) and 0.00 for any other costs of doing business? Lina Khan Senator Mike Crapo Ron Wyden

Cigna should provide the evidence if the FTC report is misrepresenting their actions. Every independent pharmacy in America should willingly provide evidence supporting the facts of the report. Typical mafia behavior. Stand firm Lina Khan, you are a true hero.

It’s really interesting that insurance companies helped craft the laws for Medicare D Those laws prohibit pharmacies from dispensing one product over a cheaper one to benefit the pharmacy. Yet PBMs do this every second of the day within their “formulary”. Lina Khan Senator Mike Crapo

Repeating: PBMs pay me for a 22 day supply of medicine but force me to dispense a 30 day supply in accordance with Federal Law. No one buys at the rate they pay me, not CVS or WMart. Why is it not a crime for them to underpay me? Lina Khan Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 Senator Mike Crapo Ron Wyden

If the pharmacy DIR is an unintended loophole, can we not fix it? Why not? Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 Ron Wyden Senator Mike Crapo Chuck Grassley Buddy Carter

I wonder if CVS ever thought about applying their “Aberrant Practices” to themselves. “Protecting financial welfare of Plan Sponsors”sounds like they are acting as a fiduciary. But they clearly deny that they are. U.S. Department of Justice Lina Khan Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 Ron Wyden

PBMs using arbitrary numbers for their MAC to pay pharmacies should be outlawed immediately. The model should be an average price at the largest wholesalers. Anyone who takes the time to shop around and save money on a few generic items should be rewarded. Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧
