Op-ed in @GlobeOpinion: Legislature must regulate role of pharmacy benefit managers in our health care trib.al/Gf96UBJ
Incredibly proud of @l_hunt01 who put a stake in the ❤️ of the PBMs this morning at the State House. But the fight has just begun. And we will not stop until they are held accountable & patients’ health is a priority. bostonglobe.com/2023/06/06/opi…
Momentum continues to build for PBM reform on the hill. Just this week House Oversight held powerful hearing pn PBMs and House E&C passed out meaningful PBM legislation. Time for institutional investors in PBM stocks to join Congress in fight for #PBMreform. @Vanguard_Group
"From an economic angle, Vanguard – because of its substantial ownership stake in these companies – has an opportunity to be a leader in creating positive change in the #PBM industry." ow.ly/jcbU50OvHek
Keep the pressure mounting against these thieves! PBMs claim to not have fiduciary responsibility to patients, only plan sponsors. Are their shareholders suffering thru prior auth hell, or been forced to miss their life-saving meds due to insurance profit games?

To lower drug prices for patients, Congress must comprehensively reform the middlemen of drug pricing – PBMs. Piecemeal legislation, even if strong, will just squeeze the balloon, instead of popping the gross-to-net bubble.

Great opening remarks by @oncologyCOA President Dr. Miriam Atkins at the Oversight Committee hearing on #PBM abuses. They are heartless “profit seeking” faceless corporations that get in the way of treating cancer patients & other Americans. oversight.house.gov/hearing/the-ro…
“CVS Caremark takes seriously the importance of reimbursing pharmacies in our network fairly,” Larrabee said. “Independent pharmacies are reimbursed at a higher rate than large regional and national chains, including CVS Pharmacy.” @CVSHealth Really? I have proof of this lie.
