Check out our new TV ad showing how middlemen are getting between patients and the medicines they need. We need real PBM reform that addresses the challenges people face every day at the pharmacy.
Here’s how the story ends when it comes to government price-setting: Patients in OECD countries have access to just 29% of new medicines through a government health plan, while U.S. patients have access to 85%. This report paints the full picture: https://t.co/YJ0PC9qECv

Update: received a call within an hour of posting. Ronnie was incredible in solving the issue within 15 min. 8 days of repeated outreach for an issue that could be resolved in 15 min. TY Ronnie. To @microsoft@microsoft365@MicrosoftHelps truly unacceptable
#NeverhaveIever experienced such poor customer service as that from @Microsoft@Microsoft365@MicrosoftHelps Daily calls 1+ week w/ no resolution/ response from support. Not what I expected choosing Microsoft. So frustrated I've resorted to tweeting it - a 1st for me.
Spent the last few days talking to health insurers, who say they won’t be ready to fully implement the White House’s coronavirus rapid testing coverage provisions that start tomorrow. https://t.co/iur5RLdJiQ
Always fun traveling for clients - meeting people on the ground doing the important work we represent and checking out new places. After more than a week though, it’s time to get back and take care of all those inbox items I flagged!! (Sooo many little red flags 🤦♀️)
An ingestible, digital tracking pill - whole new level thinking about care coordination, medication management and adherence. What will they think of next?! https://t.co/Z3pEZHtlwG via @statnews
“He loved to laugh. Especially at himself. He could tease and needle, but never out of malice. He placed great value on a good joke. It’s why he chose (Alan) Simpson to speak,” President George W. Bush says
Today I join with others across our nation to remember and celebrate the life of #Bush41 - a magnificent, humble and brave leader who so faithfully served God, his family and the people of this country. To him, Thank you. RIP and be rejoined with the ones you loved and lost.

Glad to see @NIHDirector Francis Collins swift and strong response calling out dangers and ethical considerations on use of gene-editing technologies on human embryos. #GeneEditing#bioethics#innovation#NextGen
See @NIHDirector’s statement on claim of first gene-edited babies by Chinese Researcher Dr. He Jiankui. #NIH does not support the use of gene-editing technologies in human embryos. We need to develop binding international limits on this research. https://t.co/RoQVrcC0De
