"Are we going to let #PBMs continue to siphon off profits while patients are denied access to the medications and care they deserve? Or are we going to stand up for our communities and our healthcare system? The time to act is now." greeleytribune.com/2024/11/22/jos…
Colorado’s Medicare beneficiaries deserve a fair, predictable price for prescriptions…but #PBMs’ manipulative practices lead to drug prices swinging by thousands for the same medicine. More from @WSJ: wsj.com/health/healthc…
.@SenatorBennet & @SenatorHick, take note: “After years of debate and discussions about how to cut high drug prices, Congress can send an early holiday gift to the American people by enacting #PBM accountability legislation this year.” coloradopolitics.com/opinion/congre…
There’s a clear connection between rising #PBM consolidation & rising out-of-pocket costs for patients. @econliberties catalogues how patients & providers alike suffer when the middlemen get bigger. economicliberties.us/our-work/ameri…
At least eight Colorado zip codes have lost all their pharmacies since 2015, according to a new analysis in @nytimes #PBMs routinely underpay independent pharmacies compared to their own & rob patients of a vital channel to access prescriptions. nytimes.com/2024/10/19/bus…
With the end of the year approaching, Congress must follow @FTC’s lead and take action against insurance middleman #PBMs. We cannot afford to continue encouraging them to drive up prescription drug costs. healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hp2…
#PBMs continue to squeeze independent pharmacies out of business, leaving many rural communities with no reliable way to access their prescription medications. Congress must act to check their abuses of Colorado pharmacies. gjsentinel.com/opinion/column…
"The time to act is now. Let’s shine a light on PBMs and restore fairness to the health-care landscape in Colorado. For the sake of our patients, our communities and the future of affordable health care, we must demand change." #PBMreforms gjsentinel.com/opinion/column…
The @FTC has officially called out the big three #PBMs for pocketing insulin discounts meant for patients and steering patients away from lower-cost drugs. More proof we need #PBMreforms to stop this bad behavior. nytimes.com/2024/09/20/hea…
#ICYMI @ChronicCareCO's Sara Froelich highlights how our state's Prescription Drug Affordability Board can meaningfully lower Rx costs (through #PBMreforms): coloradopolitics.com/opinion/a-vita…
Our Prescription Drug Affordability Board "doesn’t take into account a key actor in the health care system...If we want to continue working to meaningfully reduce the costs of medications for Colorado families, #PBMs cannot be left out of the equation." coloradopolitics.com/opinion/a-vita…
“[A]n insurer can coordinate a patient's cancer care to make sure they see their providers, get drugs...via a deal with their pharmacy benefit manager...dispense those drugs through their own pharmacy.” Congress must stop #PBM vertical integration: axios.com/2024/08/08/ins…
Why should one #cancer drug cost anywhere from $79 to $6,826? The only answer is that #PBMs profit from playing games with prescription drug prices. Lawmakers must put a stop to this. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2024/07/26/dru…
NEW: @GOPOversight @OversightDems report finds that #PBMs have cost taxpayers more and reduced patient choice. Congress must enact real #PBMreform this year. oversight.house.gov/wp-content/upl…
"If we want to tame the high price of prescription drugs, it is crucial that policymakers address this lesser-known player." @HealthierColo's CEO explains how #PBMreforms will help lower our out-of-pocket costs for medicines. gjsentinel.com/opinion/column…
#PBMs are meant to help lower drug costs, but often steer patients to purchase more expensive alternatives from pharmacies they own, per a new report from @FTC Congress can act this year to end these games. wsj.com/health/healthc…
Why do #PBMs care which pharmacy patients on employer-sponsored plans use to fill their Rx? @WSJ finds that PBM owned mail-order pharmacies charge far more for the same drugs so they can pocket more $. Congress must rein in these self-dealing middlemen. wsj.com/health/pharma/…
30+ state AGs, including @COAttnyGeneral, have asked SCOTUS to resolve whether states can regulate #PBMs due to conflicting rulings from lower courts. We need #PBMreforms to lower out-of-pocket costs for prescriptions. endpts.com/states-join-ok…
Yet another Congressional committee is looking into anticompetitive practices by healthcare conglomerates like #PBMs. @housebudgetGOP @HouseBudgetDems budget.house.gov/hearing/breaki…
"Rather than price controls, public policy should instead focus on reforming profit-driven practices by Pharmacy Benefit Managers." We need #PBMreforms to lower prescription drug costs for Colorado families: gazette.com/opinion/letter…
