"The abuse of the 340B program has become a national disaster not only for our most vulnerable patients but the entire health care system." Investigations have documented #PBMs and their pharmacy chains have been part of the problem. https://t.co/Fw3F0HRxqe

When biosimilars generated $12.4B in savings in 2023 alone, it’s time for leaders to prevent #PBM practices from hindering access. It’s time for our elected officials to push #PBMreform over the finish line. https://t.co/N4knf4bglM

“It is a blatant abuse of the program,” - @DrugChannels. Policymakers must address #PBM exploitation of the 340B system meant for patients in need.

Granite staters need our leaders to step up this March and pass #PBMreform to lower drug costs, protect pharmacies, and improve patient access. @HouseCommerce @EnergyCommerce https://t.co/Ei4xD6q8Za

[PBM Accountability Project of New Hampshire @PBMprojectNH]

The work has been done. Congress reached bipartisan agreement on #PBMreforms last year, “Employers, their workers, patients and taxpayers all across America are counting on it to help mitigate their ever-growing health care costs.” https://t.co/9H47pkrY87
