In recognition of American Pharmacists Month, HHS leaders @ADM_Christine , @ACF_Adams & RADM Kelly Battese joined @usphscc pharmacy officers to discuss pharmacy priorities, including the benefits of standard-of-care regulatory models that help expand access and improve health outcomes for the American people.

#PBMReform without enforcement is not helpful. This attorney's explanation of what #PBMReform is working on the state level brings up some interesting points. | @Drug_Topics
