WV patients shouldn’t pay the price for misguided policy. As Chris Stansbury highlights, “most favored nation” pricing risks limiting access to critical medicines and undermining U.S. Rx production. @SenCapito @JimJustice_WV @RepCarolMiller @RepRileyMoore https://t.co/zPS8SIHUft

‘Most Favored Nation’ drug pricing may sound like a fix, but it risks restricting patient access and discouraging innovation in new therapies. Real reform means tackling the middlemen driving up costs. Insightful piece: https://t.co/l9VdliwWz7 @SenCapito @JimJustice_WV

Bipartisan Senate leaders have introduced a bill pushing for major reforms to hold PBMs accountable. It’s time for Congress to deliver long-overdue PBM transparency and accountability. Pass the #PBMReform Bill! @SenCapito @JimJustice_WV

There’s been real progress in onshoring drug development in the U.S., but without the right policies in place to encourage continued investment, China could still take the lead
globally. @SenateAging is meeting to discuss why keeping drug development
#MadeInAmerica matters. https://t.co/poAc3jfXYc @JimJustice_WV

Tomorrow (11/19), @SenateAging is holding a hearing exploring how to strengthen America’s position in the global race for innovation. Check out @weworkforhealth’s Investment Watch: https://t.co/yeWUFF3BUR to learn how biopharma investment in the U.S. continues to rise. @JimJustice_WV

Thank you, Senator @JimJustice_WV! PBM reform could save hundreds of billions and lower costs for families. #Accountability #MakeHealthcareWork

[Senator Jim Justice @JimJustice_WV]

Great to hear from Mark Cuban during our @SenateAging hearing.

Pharmacy Benefit Managers are driving up prices, and it's squeezing our local and independent pharmacies in rural West Virginia.

We must find a way to prevent the PBM middleman from hurting the consumer.

Congratulations to @WVSOM on their ceremonial groundbreaking for the $35 million expansion of the school's Fredric W. Smith Science Building and for hosting WVSOM Bio! Your efforts are further positioning the school and WV as a prime location to conduct life science research, make discoveries, and grow innovative companies. #WVSOMBio

Tomorrow is #WorldIPDay…Let’s recognize the dedication of researchers, developers, scientists, and innovators who work tirelessly to deliver patients transformative treatments and cures. Strong #IntellectualPropertyRights are essential to these advancements.

West Virginians depend on small molecule drugs like pills and tablets every day, but a 68% drop in investments since the #IRA’s introduction threatens future investment. Fewer options, higher costs and longer waits — policymakers must fix the #PillPenalty. @RepCarolMiller @RileyMooreWV. Learn more from @weworkforhealth: https://t.co/1WxvJtZxbr

Medicaid provides access to life-saving care for people fighting cancer, especially low-income individuals primarily from rural and underserved communities like WV. @SenCapito @JimJustice_WV

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

When she was diagnosed with cancer at 17, Cindy’s family relied on #Medicaid to get her the care she needed. She's now cancer-free.

Future children deserve the same opportunity Cindy had to diagnose & survive cancer. Urge your Senator to protect Medicaid: https://t.co/u0MkxDZkjj

[BioWV @BioWv]

This is a critically important issue in WV and throughout the country. @SenCapito @JimJusticeWV

[American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network @ACSCAN]

Failing to extend the Marketplace enhanced tax credits would take away many cancer patients’ and survivors’ only quality, affordable health care option and eliminate their ability to receive the care needed to get and stay well.

We can't let this happen. https://t.co/JvBckqwHhm

[BioWV @BioWv]

The negative consequences of #IRA price controls are already playing out, particularly with a 70% drop in small molecule drug development since the law’s introduction in 2021. The announcement of 15 more drugs subject to the flawed policy will make it worse. Learn more from @weworkforhealth: https://t.co/oWIXxhgPdS

The momentum for the #MCEDAct is undeniable— 500+ organizations and nearly 400 members of Congress are behind it! Let’s take it all the way and pass the bill this year! @SenCapito @RepCarolMiller @RepAlexMooney

[BioWV @BioWv]

Big step forward: Congress has included the #MCEDAct in the year-end bill! Now it’s time to get it done and improve cancer screenings for seniors in WV and across America. @SenCapito @RepCarolMiller @RepAlexMooney

[BioWV @BioWv]

Americans are calling for lower medication prices, and lawmakers have a chance to offer a real solution. The lame-duck session is the final chance for Congress to pass bipartisan PBM reform by year’s end. We support current legislation that would remove the incentives for PBMs to steer patients toward more expensive medications and require PBMs to pass through rebate savings. @SenCapito @RepCarolMiller @RepAlexMooney

[BioWV @BioWv]

The #IRA was meant to save patients money but instead has led to increased premiums and fewer choices under Medicare Part D. Thank you @RepCarolMiller for seeking answers from @CMSGov on the Administration’s Part D price offset proposal!https://t.co/aqh3Mp9bUX

[BioWV @BioWv]

The #IRA’s price controls are already causing the discontinuation of critical research. Despite @POTUS’ promises that this law would improve healthcare, it has placed future cures for Alzheimer's and cancer out of patients’ reach. https://t.co/IF0On9GOUl
