@mcuban is spot on re large PBM treatment of independent pharmacies. 3 independents closed last month in GA alone. @TruthRX @econliberties @matthewstoller @GeorgiaPharmacy @_APCI 👇
This is one of the greatest days of hope in this advocacy journey. Many pharmacists have said the same for years about PBMs. Will @WhiteHouse finally listen as someone with knowledge & a large platform speaks? I hope others with a large platform will come forward.

Speaking of independent pharmacies dissappearing, checkout payment disparities in Ga. state plan. @mcuban @3AxisAdvisors @costplusdrugs @_APCI @GeorgiaPharmacy
Big pharma manufacturers need to by pass the big PBMs and pay pharmacy fill fees directly to pharmacies for brand fills. The last thing they need is indie pharmacies disappearing It’s something @costplusdrugs is working on for our retail affiliate network. But they should be…

Independent pharmacy buying groups join forces @_APCI 🤝 @APSCorporation
APCI is growing! We're proud to announce our partnership with APSC. Learn more here: prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
Drug companies could lower the list price of meds if PBMs are taken out of the picture. Proof? Look at every other country that enjoys exponentially lower prices. Why? THEY DONT HAVE PBMS!! @SenSanders @HELPCmteDems @GOPoversight @TruthRX
#Congress should reject #drug companies’ self-serving blame game, and instead focus on solutions to encourage greater competition in the #prescription drug market that would lower costs for #patients. @SenateHELP. #PharmaSetsThePrice pcmanet.org/pcma-blog/pcma…
Patients & states being overcharged by large PBMs in state plans while indep. pharmacies are short changed is an all too familiar story. States must stop trusting large PBM to set prices. Pharmacies can be paid fairly while money is saved program wide, by moving to an index model
“We’ve become aware of significant overcharges to the patients that are on PEIA... the State of West Virginia is being overcharged. And as a citizen and as somebody who pays taxes, I don’t want my money wasted.” | @WBOY12News ow.ly/bE2950QxpwU
Do we want to trade the calming, peaceful and informative experience of local pharmacies, with the lifeless, dingy, depressing experience of the PBM owned #pharmacies? #pharmacist #pharmacy #SaveTheIndies #mounjaro #zepbound #ozempic #wegovy #onthepen #manonthemounjaro

The elimination of outside #PBMs brought dire warnings of soaring costs. But a state analysis found the opposite; savings since the change took effect in 2021 amount to about $283 million through 2022, $56.6 million of that in state money. | @CJSomerset ow.ly/P4jG50PTVFA
