Thanks to Sens. @RonWyden and @MikeCrapo, leaders of @SenateFinance/@SenFinance, for helping rally this morning for #PBMreform now! As former #NCPAPrez Michele Belcher said: "The longer we all have to wait, the worse off so many will be." @NACDS
This would be unbelievable if we weren't talking about the vertically integrated PBMs. Apparently, they believe competition & patient protection laws don't apply to them...but we already knew that...

We were elected to do hard things. Rural pharmacies are about to close if Congress fails to act. Americans cannot wait until next year—we have a solution. We need to act now.

‼️NCPA is blasting a move by CVS Caremark to force Osterhaus Pharmacy, the plaintiff in a federal class action lawsuit, into arbitration to settle the matter. The barrier to entry and one-sided arbitration rules are obscene, CEO @RPhDouglas says: bit.ly/3OtSM6j
We need Congress to finish the job on PBM Reform ASAP before seniors' have even less access to local pharmacies. @CMSGov @SecBecerra @BrooksLaSureCMS @SpeakerJohnson @SenSchumer

Contact your US Representative and ask then to support H.R. 5378, the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act. On Monday the House is scheduled to vote on the bill. It includes Medicaid managed care payment reform, a NCPA priority!

This pretty much sums it up... The U.S. pharmacy industry is crumbling. Here’s how to fix it. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…
“It’s all coming home to roost,” Hoey said of the PBMs’ unchecked power and their practice of steering patients away from the independents and into the chains. PBM voodoo economics + Mega-chain commoditizing the profession=Greed. usatoday.com/story/news/inv…
Reacting to the lawsuit filed against CVS Health, Caremark and Aetna, @RPhDouglas says, "Be in Orlando [for the NCPA Annual Convention] and be the first to find out how you can get involved in taking a swing back at the PBMs." Register here for #NCPA2023: bit.ly/34i5SMO
