Too much of the economy is captured by monopolists and middlemen. Pharmacy Benefit Managers are both. My bipartisan legislation will stop their unfair tactics, support community pharmacists, and lower Rx drug prices. https://t.co/hiz7B6iQGT

Talking to independent physicians, it's obvious that the big insurance carriers are doing to them, what their PBMs are doing to independent pharmacies.

They deny, underpay, slow pay, clawback, and create administrative mazes, knowing their victims don't have the time or resources to fight.

Why ? By putting financial pressures on physicians and pharmacies, it makes them more likely to sell their businesses to them , close their doors, or refer the business to their captive pharmacy or provider. All benefitting the biggest insurance companies

We need to ditch the concept of "claims" and make every delivery of medications or care as a billable event that must, by law, be paid on a timely basis , with interest charges for any delays. If the physician or pharmacy doesn't deliver , the carrier has plenty of legal options already. As does the patient.

This is not an efficient market. This is the big guy abusing the little guy. It needs to change to better the care we get in this country

Yesterday, during a Senate HELP Committee hearing on lowering healthcare costs, @SenTimKaine pointed to #PBMReform as an achievable, bipartisan win that is ready for the taking. Enacting these already agreed-upon reforms would deliver meaningful relief for patients and pharmacies.

Thank you, Senator Kaine, for your leadership on this issue, working to ensure we can rein in the harmful practices of PBMs, realizing lower out-of-pocket costs for patients and helping to safeguard access to the trusted, local pharmacies on which they rely.

@GovAbbottPress Time to take action in Texas.

[Sarah Huckabee Sanders @SarahHuckabee]

For far too long, big drug middlemen called PBMs have inflated drug prices. Not anymore. Arkansas is leading the way protecting our seniors, veterans, and everyone else who relies on their local pharmacy to stay healthy

More than 400 #pharmacy professionals today urged Texas legislators to enact new laws to protect patients, #pharmacies and employers from the anti-competitive, anti-consumer PBM practices. #PBMReform #txlege https://t.co/BmUPHLjL1F

ICYMI: The @HouseCommerce Health Subcommittee held a pivotal hearing last week to examine "how reining in PBMs will drive competition and lower costs for patients."

Infertility Should Not Be Taboo Anymore
Is infertility taboo? There are still societal stigmas. However, with IVF, couples can feel empowered and embrace the new path to parenthood.

Dear Patients,

PBMs don’t lower the cost of prescription drugs. They rob the profits of small business and you of choice.

Sincerely,

Every Pharmacy Professional in America

[Brashear's Pharmacy @BrashearsRx]

.@SpeakerJohnson We need congress to finish the job on PBM reform. It'll save billions, save small businesses, and allow patients to choose the pharmacy that serves them best. Save independent pharmacy! @Commpharmacy @TruthRX @HouseCommerce

Hey @mcuban and @costplusdrugs, TX pharmacies need your support! Critical RX bills (SB1122, SB1236, SB1354) are up this session, but misinformation is circulating on #PBMReform. Your voice can help clarify. Will you stand with us? #SupportTexasPharmacies #txlege @TXpharmAssn

Yesterday, I traveled to Arkansas, the state that is the first to take the life-saving movement toward breaking up the health insurance and healthcare monopolies. "The bill will ban PBMs (Optum RX, CVS Caremark, & Express Scripts) from obtaining a license to own their own pharmacies in Arkansas. It will also force PBMs that currently own their own pharmacies here to sell those pharmacies by Jan. 26, 2026. It is a clear conflict of interest that the PBMs — which set reimbursement rates on drug costs for all pharmacies and determine which drugs a health plan will cover — should also own their own pharmacies. Time and time again, PBMs use this unfair advantage to generate a windfall of immense profit for themselves at the expense of patients. They steer patients to their own pharmacies — and they pay their own pharmacies a better reimbursement rate on drug costs than they do their local, independent competitors.
The result: higher drug prices for all patients, fewer choices of where patients can obtain those drugs, and worse quality of care — as local pharmacies close."

May Missouri & all other states be next as we await federal legislators to pull it together!

Thank you to every beautiful person in our nation fighting for change, justice, & protection.

.@RepPatFallon grills PMB witnesses on their contribution to rising healthcare costs.

“PBMs state that they exist to save people money.

“Yet the PBMs are seeking, quite frankly, right now, sky-high profits and health care costs are becoming prohibitively expensive for the average American.

“According to the Federal Trade Commission, three PBMs now control 80% of the market.

“They vertically integrated with suppliers of goods and services, retail, mail order, specialty pharmacies, and large health insurers.

“And as a result of vertical integration, there are pharmacies owned by the same company as the PBM.”
