Caption This Video:
Overlooking that clause in his #newPBMcontract,Phil Pharmacist realized PBMs had stolen his ability to skip too.Having taken all his profits,savings,retirement, new clause takes more.Phil laughs at the absurdity not realizing PBMs will take his soul next.

@RepKatiePorter Don’t stop there with manufacturers (It was a thing of beauty,though.) Now show how much PBMs take from pharmacies&patients.PBMs live in the shadows&constantly take.Put PBMs and their DIR fees on your whiteboard. Break it down to show everyone what the #PBMafia is doing please.

@PAWPAC4AR @JonesForAR @JonesForAR is impressive. I feel like he’s this hidden gem our state just discovered—or maybe it’s just me. Would be happy for him and his fam to represent our state.

I know what word(s) applies…Pharmacy Benefits Managers

[Just Sayin’ @__Determined]

pharmacists are clicking their heels&leaving the profession—but who can blame them? #RubySlipperReimbursementBelowCost
#NoPlaceLikeHome
#AndTheLittleDogToo loosely translates into “Here’s an audit!”
Admit it,we all want to see a few Legislators sing #IfIOnlyHadABrain

(1/2) If Dorothy Were A Pharmacist:
Federal agencies would find courage,Congress—a brain,big box execs—a heart,&if someone would please douse the wicked witch(PBMs)in lawsuits,then maybe she would quit sending out the #FlyingMonkeys (Should be PCMAs official hashtag). Meanwhile…

@Blake_Torres_ Fabulous!! Keep it up. I bet you have no idea how inspiring you are to others.

[Just Sayin’ @__Determined]

C¥$ & WAG,your corp is so greedy that you want ALL the patients &then steal them bc most won’t switch to you willingly.Once you have them you can’t meet their needs bc your staff is overwhelmed, overworked,underpaid, understaffed,& unappreciated.

CV$ to patient:
“You have to use us!”
“You can’t go anywhere else or it costs more.”
“Your meds are only covered if you use us.”

Also CV$:”Who are you again? We don’t have you in our system. Ok,so you’ve waited over an hour,but it will be 3 days before it’s ready…why you mad?”

Mail Order:”It’s a specialized drug,requiring specific handling &packaging not all pharmacies have ability to do.”

<throws med in mailer in snail mail w/out tracking,temp controls, safe handling instruc,or counseling weeks later &pays themselves double>

I KNOW WE DO BETTER!

Someone asked me what the acronym PCMA meant. (I smiled because I knew I was going to give a snarky answer.) I said “Paying Congress Money Anticompetitively.” (Then I cried a little because it was so spot on the truth.)

[Just Sayin’ @__Determined]

What this tells me is those opposed are bought by PBMs,&no real reform will come from the executive or legislative branches. Judicial…you’re up! It’s the only area small pharmacies have seen progress. Thanks Congress for nothing as usual! Enjoy your payoff at small biz expense.

Drug pricing, dead again. https://t.co/2hjEVmUOS0

@xjelliott Broad mind to consider all paths, broad shoulders to carry the load, and a broad reach to influence many. A life well lived and he will be missed.

Employers:provide access to health ins w/choice in providers&pharmacies. 1 size doesNOTfit all. QUALITYcoverage is reported to be THE benefit most desired by employees&will pay something for when it’s worth it(helping you w/cost).Don’t go cheap just to say you offer”free”coverage

[Just Sayin’ @__Determined]

PBMs claim audits, metrics & other BS ”checks” protect patients. Folks, the only thing PBMs and insurance companies protect is their bottom line and the politicians in their pockets—all at your expense.

[Just Sayin’ @__Determined]

@docster2000 @xjelliott Ark had momentum and could have been a leader nationwide on this issue. Instead,we complete an audit,find fraud&self-dealings by PBMs,&talk tough. BUT when it came time to act,the state did NOTHING! What the heck?You understand this issue so please explain!

[Just Sayin’ @__Determined]

@AmericanAir you delayed flights,canceled,sent me to SIX different gates for your people to walk away from the last gate at 11pm never to come back leaving me &about 15others stranded overnight w/no answers,no food,no hotel,nothing. There is no making that right w/stupid vouchers

[Just Sayin’ @__Determined]

I’m providing my services as PBM interpreter.

PBM speak:”vertical integration streamlines healthcare,empowers providers&allows best practice”

Translation:screw you,give PBMs ALL the money.

Actually,you don’t need me. EverythingPBMs say can be boiled down to that.

#PBMGreed

[PUTT @TruthRX]

Greed-driven @pcmanet can’t handle their SCOTUS loss & are still trying to fight fair Rx reimbursements for pharmacies! With 100 bills in 39 states, community pharmacies & legislative #pharmacy champions aren’t backing down in the fight against #PBMs! https://t.co/LbZ6JmdBjq

Maybe it’s just me,but if you make a specific promise prior to winning an election, you entered into a verbal contract with someone and should follow thru—or make a good faith effort to at least.
