Glad to see @RepMMM prioritizing #PBMreforms: "The DRUG Act would save people money on prescription drugs now...Immediately, it would help to save our small and independent pharmacies so that they can stay in business." desmoinesregister.com/story/news/pol…


A couple from the midwest & a Congressman from the south make the case for #PBMreform this year. "What is needed now is a sense of urgency to enact legislation that will rein in these greedy, monopolistic corporations before more people are hurt." dcjournal.com/the-human-cost…


Pharmacy closures aren’t just an Iowa problem: the #PBMs who decide what local pharmacies get paid are putting the squeeze on pharmacies across the country, leaving communities w/out access to medications. Congress & @FTC should rein in these middlemen. kcrg.com/2024/10/31/pha…


Congress has a chance to lower costs & improve access to prescription drugs by holding #PBMs accountable with #PBMreforms. We can’t allow them to miss this opportunity for seniors this year. amestrib.com/story/opinion/…


Why is the @FTC taking the fight to #PBMs? The short answer is that they’ve gamed the healthcare system to make money off both patients and drugmakers, all while making prescription drugs more expensive and difficult to get. healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hp2…


#PBMs are feeling the heat, and it’s about time. Congress has an opportunity to bring down drug costs and should act before the end of the year. reuters.com/legal/litigati…


.@FTC sues the big three #PBMs for driving up insulin costs. Congress can stop this behavior for good with meaningful #PBMreforms to make sure PBMs can’t profit from higher drug costs. wsj.com/health/healthc…


If Congress doesn’t ensure that #PBMs pass along prescription drug rebates to patients, out-of-pocket costs will continue to be dictated by the PBMs. Comprehensive #PBMreform must include real benefits for patients. cjonline.com/story/opinion/…


#PBMs are now so profitable that the insurance companies that own them make more money from the #PBM than they do from actual insurance. We need lawmakers to crack down on these corporate behemoths running the table on healthcare. axios.com/2024/08/08/ins…


Leaders like @RepMMM understand the urgent need for bipartisan #PBMreforms. Congress must stop #PBMs from increasing our out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs at the pharmacy counter. newtondailynews.com/opinion/column…


ICYMI: one of the largest #PBMs has been caught failing to pass along prescription drug discounts in state employee plans and has to pay $45 million. Lawmakers must crack down on these profit-inflating practices. statnews.com/pharmalot/2024…


“The anticompetitive policies of the largest #PBMs have cost taxpayers and reduced patient choice.” – an analysis from @GOPoversight @OversightDems reviewed over 140,000 documents from the 3 largest #PBMs, demonstrating the need for #PBMreforms Read: oversight.house.gov/release/comer-…


NEW @FTC report “is a step towards improving PBM transparency and accountability, which Congress and consumers alike are calling for.” - @ChuckGrassley It’s time for Congress to follow Senator Grassley’s lead & rein in #PBMs. grassley.senate.gov/news/news-rele…


#DYK mail-order Rx drugs are often more expensive than they would be at a retail pharmacy? That’s because #PBMs mark them up & cut their own mail-order pharmacies a better deal than competitors. Congress must stop anti-patient practices w/ #PBMreforms. wsj.com/health/pharma/…


Another step towards #PBMreform. Congress can’t let this momentum go to waste in 2024. insidehealthpolicy.com/daily-news/ec-…


Rural hospitals are threatened by #PBMs: “If current trends continue, many more rural hospitals will be forced to dramatically scale back services or close altogether, leaving millions without access to essential care.” townhall.com/columnists/mic…


ICYMI: @AAFANational’s Kenneth Mendez underscores a critical issue in the prescription price debate: price caps alone won't fix the root problem. It's time to address the influence of insurance middlemen #PBMs on drug prices for real change. dcjournal.com/price-caps-on-…


Iowans deserve access to ALL prescription medications. Senior fellows at @PioneerBoston raise concerns over #PBMs denying coverage for generic drugs. It's time for transparency & accountability in healthcare: bizjournals.com/boston/news/20…


HF 2401 aims to increase access to affordable medications for rural patients. Encourage your local lawmaker to advance this critical #PBMreform bill. thegazette.com/letters-to-the…
