Come on CVS, you’re not fooling anybody

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

That’s pretty funny. He is a genius financial engineer. The split is great for shareholders. Changes nothing for patients or anyone who pays for insurance or care.

He is posturing to be able to say “See, we broke up our company. “. Don’t fall for it @HawleyMO @SenWarren

We need to pass the bill now more than ever

My daughter's middle school has the most direct fundraising strategy and I'm here for it.

We can skip the whole charade.

Your PBM makes money three ways on a single prescription: the spread on the price, the rebate on the list, and the fee for processing the claim. You were sold one of those. The contract contains all three.

“We gave up our yesterdays for your tomorrows.”

98-year-old World War II veteran David Yoho delivered an emotional message at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. as Americans gathered to honor the more than 400,000 U.S. service members who died during the war.

Standing before the crowd in the rain, Yoho urged younger generations to remember the sacrifices made by veterans and to keep telling their stories long after they’re gone.

“Tell them it was a 16-year-old boy in the hearts and mind and body of a 98-year-old veteran of World War II.”

Was not ready for Eric Church to deliver the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard.

Six guitar strings. Six pillars of a life.

Faith. Family. Spouse. Ambition. Community. You.

Tune them when you’re whole, not just when you’re broken.

Watch the whole thing.

What does it tell you that they’d close all pharmacies before selling off/divesting of their middleman that doesn’t interface with patients at all?

One thing: they make more with this phantom entity consumers never see than they do with actual delivery of care.

🚨 are you paying attention to what's happening right now..

mortgage rates just hit a 6-month high.. fourth straight week going up..

the Fed cut rates three times.. mortgages went up.. they told you rate cuts would "make housing affordable again".. rates went up.. they told you inflation was "cooling".. rates went up..

every single institution that told you to wait.. the Fed.. the banks.. the economists on TV.. they all said the same thing.. "just wait.. relief is coming"..

you waited.. and every week you waited the same house got more expensive..

in 2019 a $400,000 house cost you $1,900 a month.. today that same house costs $2,800 a month.. same walls.. same roof.. same neighborhood.. $900 more a month for nothing..

an entire generation did everything right.. went to college.. got the job.. saved the down payment.. and the finish line moved every time they got close..

your parents bought a house on one salary.. you can't buy one on two.. and nobody in charge thinks that's a problem worth solving.. because the people making the rules already own the house.

Our generation spends:

- 31% of income on housing
- 16% of income on daycare
- 10% of income on healthcare

Boomers spent:

- 23% of income on housing
- 7% of income on daycare
- 3% of income on healthcare

We’re not “worse with money”...

Our money is worth less.

[Seth Dillon @SethDillon]

The Bee and CNN are very similar — we both publish funny fake news. The difference is that one of us is joking.

[Darrel Rowland @darreldrowland]

From Bryce Platt, PharmD:
Most people think PBMs just adjudicate pharmacy claims (if they know what a PBM even is).
Here's how they actually make money

[Marion E Mass, M.D. #patientsfirst #scrubsnotsuits @mass_marion]

This 👇 tells you that CVS makes more money from its PBM than from its pharmacy.
The fact that they own both is a huge conflict of interest.
Not to mention, they own Aetna, the health, insurer, and medical clinics
@SenWarren and @HawleyMO are 🎯

A helicopter pilot was awarded the MOH tonight at the SOTU. He stood, gripping a walker, you could see the pain of his recent wound and the reluctant pride on his face from receiving attention and affection he’ll never truly feel he deserves.

The contrast between that guy and you… well it’s a gulf wider than that divided aisle that kept you from being there to applaud him tonight. Probably for the best, I imagine you’d feel pretty foolish in his presence tonight.

[Andrew Ferguson @AFergusonFTC]

Today, the Trump-Vance @FTC reached a historic settlement with one of the nation’s largest pharmacy benefit managers, Cigna/Express Scripts. A lot of Americans probably aren’t familiar with PBMs, who are middlemen in our complicated healthcare markets. But I know you’re tired of high drug costs.

FTC secures landmark settlement with Express Scripts to lower drug costs for American patients. Settlement resolves FTC lawsuit alleging that Express Scripts’ conduct resulted in artificially inflated insulin drug prices: https://t.co/VMaKWsDlDw
