To lower drug costs for seniors and taxpayers, Congress must work to delink #PBMcompensation from #druprices. We ask Senator John Cornyn and Senator Ted Cruz to please cosponsor the #PBMAct. is.gd/ubeVuw

.VitalTransformation study shows #GovernmentMandatedDrugPrices would result in 68% reduction in new FDA-approved medicines. Over 10 years, that equals 237 new therapies never making it to market. is.gd/Zctkrq

Learn about the misaligned incentives regarding the role of #PBMs, the massive corporate middlemen in the drug supply chain. “Incentives” = profit-making opportunities for the largest PBMs. natlawreview.com/article/midyea…

De-linking the compensation of #PBMs from a drug’s price is key to meaningful #PBMreform. Learn more here about the #PBMAct, which seeks to do just this. nbc16.com/news/local/leg…

Drug discounts that benefit only #PBMs should be shared with patients. We hope this important #PBMreform is top of mind for Senate Finance Committee members as they discuss #PBM accountability and PBM overcharging of patients. Thank you, Sen. John Cronyn for your attention to this issue.

Lean how the #340B program is potentially and unnecessarily encouraging the purchase of higher-priced prescription meds, which may inflate costs for patients. is.gd/qx1QhG

Patients should benefit from negotiated drug discounts. Right now, only #PBMs benefit – and this overcharging must stop. We urge Ways and Means Democrats Ways and Means Committee to fix this. Help patients save at the pharmacy counter with this #PBMreform.

A big thank you to our own Senator Senator John Cornyn for joining with the 24 cosponsors of the #MCED Screening Coverage Act to create a pathway for early cancer detection for Texans on Medicare.

#PBM compensation and the list price of a medicine create an incentive for #PBMs to prefer higher list prices. Delinking this compensation arrangement could save an estimated $39.9 billion over a 10-year period. is.gd/KE21tN

Tx faces significant lost therapies, innovation and 54,000+ #biopharma jobs under drug #pricecontrols bill from Rep. Richard Neal Rep. Frank Pallone Rep. David Scott. Bill would hurt patient access & care. More at: weworkforhealth.org/vital-transfor….

“Earlier this month, Grassley told Reuters the #PBM system was ‘an opaque operation. Transparency brings accountability, and there’s no accountability.’” is.gd/j0vFVu

There is an alarming shortage of some injectable drugs for #cancer and other life-threatening diseases, the result of misdirected government policies. It’s time for #340B reform. Put patients first. is.gd/Bwte7J
