First, the pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) pushed opioids onto prescribers, helping fuel the opioid epidemic.

Now, the PBMs are charging a higher co-pay in Medicare for the first painkiller on the market to match opioids for acute pain. Patients in pain who want a non-addictive option will have to pay more.

[Firing Line with Margaret Hoover @FiringLineShow]

Democratic @SenWarren and Republican @HawleyMO have introduced a bill to break up companies that own health insurers and medical providers.

"Love it," says @mcuban.

"They control everything. Literally what those companies do defines the cost of healthcare in this country."

"When a few PBMs dominate a market, they hold outsized power over how much patients pay for drugs, where they can fill their prescriptions and whether their essential medications are covered."

[Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 @RepAuchincloss]

Reforming pharmacy benefit managers is a bipartisan issue that saves taxpayers money, lower Rx co-pays, and supports small business. Virtually the only people opposed are health-insurance lobbyists, who fall back on threatening to raise premiums.

Instead of standing tall, Speaker Johnson lost his nerve last-minute last year. This year, lawmakers can't let him flinch.
