@TerryForsheeRx so many people WANT to be #truebelievers............ we just found out how #smallbiz pharmacies were made to look the bad “greedy” thieves.... our mediciad study backed up our (ignored) study on Medicaid and soooo many other excuses to keep
Independent pharmacies have been bending over backwards to get vaccines to people....... guilted for wasting any doses, while the market is saturated since CVS/WAG had vaccine since 3rd week in December, yet we got them at best last week in March. Lost cost to pharmacies between
Thank you @ILComptroller@AndyManar@repgregharris for CAP funds in IL. These funds are vital for providers survival & be able to provide pharmacy services in the rural communities we serve. Our patients (and us) are thankful for your concern of their access to their medications.
Your local pharmacy:
1️⃣ pays property taxes to your local schools
2️⃣ generates sales taxes to local police, fire, & parks
3️⃣ employs local workers
4️⃣ provides boots-on-the-ground access to local healthcare
#PBMs do none of those👆🏻things.
Finally, this scotus ruling opens the door for legislation @repgregharris & I are sponsoring. If we want to save $$ in the state budget, support small businesses, & help workers keep a little more of their wages--let's start right here. @ExposingPBMs@ILPharmacists
This is big. #PBMs pick the pockets of every single working family in America--twice. These unnecessary middle-men drive up the cost of Rx meds for 250m Americans. ---➡️https://t.co/HI3iCjUw2z
If your independent pharmacy has closed or been sold to a chain, call your legislators. If the PBM is forcing you to use their preferred provider call your legislators!
@SenatorDurbin waved them off, explaining that he only ever heard the complaints from a few pharmacists, and if they expected to get help, a lot more people “who weren’t pharmacists” would have to call. 😡
🚨@SenatorDurbin Many are afraid to speak.

Please copy this, retweet this, and share the hell out of this with every single person you can...we have got to get the word out about the bastardly PBM's and what they are doing to us!!!
This matters because pharmacists in dozens of states have accused Walgreens, CVS and other major drugstore chains of putting the public at risk of medication errors because of understaffed and chaotic workplaces. That’s what we wrote about last month. https://t.co/TapICxZSxK
Senator Manar is going to take Illinois state pharmacy services away from the PBM middlemen to save millions of taxpayer dollars. Everyone needs to support his efforts!@AndyManar @repgregharris@SenDuckworth@SenatorDurbin
Thankful that Senator @AndyManar is working with local pharmacies to fight for ALL patients in IL to remove the real cause of high drug prices, the PBM middlemen! 2020 has a bright start with this commitment. @TruthRX@falk_dave@OwenSully22@baberry51@RfactsFacts
Join PSSNY/FixRx for a rally 1/8/20 in support of PBM regulation. Register and more info at: https://t.co/AdMa4rMngw. You do not have to be a PSSNY member or a pharmacist to attend. PBM problems are all of NY’s problems! #FixRx
@SenBillBrady, stop talking about saving Illinois taxpayers money and actually do it!! It’s easy! start by eliminating the $500,000,000 siphoned annually from Illinois alone by the corrupt PBM industry!! @pcmanet@WANDTVDoug
