@mcuban It’s why NADAC plus dispensing fee plus % works so well in pharmacy payment methodologies. No manipulation, no rebates, national reported publicly published payment structure.

@the_1eric @ConnorGoodson “Never”…..

UHCs goal is single payer and full vertical integration.

10% is here and expanding at a rapid rate.

[Blake Torres @Blake_Torres_]

@johnalanvinson @nhhorton By eliminating 70% of the total mail order rx and bringing back in conservatively millions of dollars into the state in Rx scripts one could argue a substantial net + in jobs.

[Blake Torres @Blake_Torres_]

@johnalanvinson @nhhorton US Constitution precedent is there in ND to states ability to regulate. Upheld at least twice in US Supreme Court.

We are not numb to the loss of the 97 licensed Rx jobs across the state of Arkansas that will be lost due to this law.

@mysalineshelli

Let’s make it happen!

@nhhorton bring your data.

I’ll bring my data and the patients impacted negatively by CVS forcing them to use their pharmacy against their will. Or the delays in mail order for autoimmune meds

@nhhorton Key board talk is easy.

Let’s have a podcast debate on pharmacy access and job loss in the community pharmacy space.

You seem to be an expert on PBM modeling and pharmacoeconomics.

@RepBuddyCarter As an Arkansas pharmacist I can also say that this is an even bigger win for Arkansas Patients!

Their access and their choice is defended and ultimately their cost will be better controlled with the fox not guarding the hen house.

Thank you @SarahHuckabee!

[Buddy Carter @RepBuddyCarter]

This is a huge win for pharmacists in Arkansas.

It’s time to make this national legislation for pharmacists everywhere!

@A_Ciaccia @SarahHuckabee We’re done waiting on the Feds or someone else to save us and save patients access and care.

Today we took a stand against Goliath and fought back.

[Blake Torres @Blake_Torres_]

@JohnHanzo @A_Ciaccia @SarahHuckabee Arkansas State Board Of Pharmacy will remove the licensure of the pharmacies.

[Blake Torres @Blake_Torres_]

@MedicalQuack @A_Ciaccia @SarahHuckabee They’re banned too. Any affiliation or common shared ownership.

[Blake Torres @Blake_Torres_]

@mcuban Keynote speaker at @arkpharm annual? Come on @mcuban

[Blake Torres @Blake_Torres_]

@Crimsontider They can keep their pharmacies open. No one is requiring them close their pharmacies. Just can’t do this anymore….Please defend this action. Can’t wait

@elonmusk Can we get Starlink dropped?

[Sarah Huckabee Sanders @SarahHuckabee]

Tragic images out of Cave City.

We are in contact with local officials and have emergency personnel to assist. This storm is not over - keep tracking reports in your area.

Praying for everyone impacted by this storm.

[Blake Torres @Blake_Torres_]

@RepFrenchHill @arkpharm Will we be able to expect an action of support after one of the oldest and largest pharmacies in the state closed under your watch just last year? #pbm #patientsovermonopolies

[Buddy Carter @RepBuddyCarter]

It is time for Congress to take up #PBM reform. We have the votes and Americans need it. We must act now!

[Blake Torres @Blake_Torres_]

@elonmusk @VivekGRamaswamy The US is the only country with PBMs. Ask the state of Ohio how they found and sued PBM $88million in one plan. Start with @3AxisAdvisors data

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Yeah, a significant part of the reason drugs cost more in the USA than other countries is that Americans shoulder most of the R&D costs

[Blake Torres @Blake_Torres_]

@McKesson I guess California isn’t getting the Amplify dollars. Seems they can’t get PBM reform accomplished. #amplify #pbm

Love getting out and touring some amazing businesses in our great state. My colleague, Rep. @RCShackleford and I toured Express Scripts. This company provides your prescriptions right to your front door and it was awesome to see it all in motion.

Gov. @SarahHuckabee & @ARInsuranceDept announce notices of penalties against four major pharmacy benefit managers- the largest pharmaceutical enforcement action in Arkansas history, totaling $1.47M in possible penalties. 

“PBMs have been allowed to skirt the law for too long, today my administration is taking an important step to holding Big Pharma accountable,” said Gov. @SarahHuckabee

[Blake Torres @Blake_Torres_]

@PeonyMd @PhlawlessPharm @zachm41 @thats_bone https://t.co/CkpxSvZZlW. …..NCBI says otherwise. Added RPh thus REDUCED MD role and what happened 🤔
