#PBMs are fighting against #PBMReform efforts that would ban them from owning pharmacies. These bills are on the state and federal level. | @nytimes

Now THIS is great news. Yet another bright light on the awful practices of #PBMs. They can run, but they can't hide. Whatcha got, Texas? @TXAG @GregAbbott_TX @LtGovTX @LoisKolkhorst @SenSchwertner @Burrows4TX @RepJamesFrank @TXpharmAssn @txpharmacyboard

SB 2040 passed the Senate with strong support with a 24-9 vote. The House companion bill is expected to be voted on later this evening (if not, tomorrow AM).Thank you for your support and leadership, Sen. Harshbarger! #PBMReform #PatientsOverProfits

@TomOliverson @whoop97 Doc Oliverson we need your support and expertise on this so let’s go forward next session

[Tom Oliverson, M.D. @TomOliverson]

More PBM-related casualties….we really should follow Arkansas’s lead and ban the ownership of pharmacies by PBM’s. Independent pharmacies are a lifeline in rural Texas, and they are worth defending.

Too big to care. Make them divest all non insurance assets.

They have thousands of subsidiaries and their intercompany transfers are almost 1 percent of the gdp of this country !

dude! Best dress down to corporate CEOs of the medical mafia ive ever heard. Thanks!

[KP, Pharm.D. @kpharmd12]

Once again, a huge “thank you” to @CMSGov for making pharmacies the ones responsible for financially floating the Medicare negotiated max fair price program.

It’s only a 7-Step process to get our reimbursements for these medications.

A process that “only takes 3-4 weeks”to get paid for a medication in which I have to pay my wholesaler within 14 days after dispensing.

So glad we have been caught in yet another set of crosshairs by our government.

Thanks. @CMSGov @DrOzCMS

I will give you an 80% discount off the price of your cup of coffee.

Sounds great, right?

Let's sign a contract where all your coffee purchases go through me, and I will honor that 80% discount every time.

BTW, I also set the price of that coffee.

Ahem… @GregAbbott_TX @KenPaxtonTX Texas lost over 200 community pharmacies in the last year. Our neighbors in Louisiana aren’t going to stand for it. Let’s protect our Texas pharmacies now! @TruthRX

"I really enjoy taking care of my people, but it shouldn't be this hard," says #pharmacy owner Lee Ann Hampton. "You can't afford to purchase a medicine and then be paid less than what you paid for it. It makes it difficult to keep the doors open." #pharmacist #PBMReform #txlege

Ask Your State Rep. to Vote "NO" on HB 139 to Protect Pharmacy https://t.co/cg2Q1iVrY8

Daily reminder about PBMs being the reason you are going to lose you favorite, neighborhood, family pharmacy.
