@SeemaCMS THE PBM'S CHANGE PATIENTS AFTER EXTORTING KICKBACKS FROM THE MANUFACTURES..... NOT THE MANUFACTURES.

I'M TIRED OF EXPLAINING THIS TO YOU!!!
@TruthRX

[RXavenger @RfactsFacts]

Bad day for PBMs @pcmanet with @FTC second interim staff report. Cannot wait to hear your “spin” on why siphoned billions of the sick and needy. @RepAuchincloss @ChuckGrassley @RonWyden @MikeCrapo @RepBuddyCarter

Early voting begins Monday here in Arkansas. Find sample ballots and polling locations at https://t.co/KeB9Kp4OoB.

Quick update on Helene response to address some concerns we're all seeing online.

Military, FEMA, blockades, gov't creating hurricanes, etc.

Bottom-line: Western North Carolina is pulling together. They need our support. This is the beginning of a long-term mission.

FTC sues prescription drug middlemen for artificially inflating insulin drug prices: https://t.co/sI9aAkjJPM #PBMs /1

[Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 @RepAuchincloss]

Next up - @OptumRx. Why are you charging over $1,500 for an $84 HIV drug?

Maybe it's to help @UnitedHealthGrp make $4.2 billion in profit last quarter. #PharmacistsFightBack.

[Rep. Jake Auchincloss 🟧 @RepAuchincloss]

Update: CVS Caremark is now charging $7,636 for a $17 multiple sclerosis drug.

@CVSHealth why are you marking up this MS drug by a record 47,000%? #PharmacistsFightBack

[John Vinson @johnalanvinson]

When is the FTC lawsuit coming to stop this PBM vertical integration? How can the FTC oppose 2 hospitals working to actually provide patient care but allow this madness from PBMs owning their own pharmacies ? This is worse than PharmaBro Shkreli!

[docster2000 @docster2000]

@MrsPA_C Maybe this.

The manufacturer indicates that ketorolac is contraindicated during breastfeeding, so an alternate drug is preferred after the first 24 to 72 hours when larger volumes of milk are produced, especially while nursing a newborn or preterm infant.Apr 18, 2022

[docster2000 @docster2000]

@buttler_w Really interested in this. Will you have to modify the body to accept the other 6 strings?

[docster2000 @docster2000]

@GregLeding Nice job Greg.

[docster2000 @docster2000]

@MrsPA_C I was told that there was more sampled the first few years than was sold.

[docster2000 @docster2000]

@GregLeding If they don’t use the opportunity to fix retail pharmacy, they will regret it very soon.

[docster2000 @docster2000]

@GregLeding The way the Arkansas fan base acts towards its coaches, we don’t deserve a good coach. We are either in the honeymoon phase or trying to fire them.

[Brandon Cooper @CoopRx]

Everybody’s payments go up as costs go up…except pharmacies who are somehow expected to operate at a loss while the middlemen prosper. All while @SenateDems & @SenateGOP sit on their hands and watch. @TomCottonAR @JohnBoozman can’t keep turning a blind eye.

[Pharmageddon 💊⚛️💪 @sterlingkoonce]

From a fellow independent pharmacy:

We lost $38 on Ozempic recently.

Patient actually showed me his EOB from his Medicare Part-D plan.

Plan paid over $1,200

PBM paid our pharmacy $876 and pocketed the spread, which was well over $300 for one drug.

If you aren’t enraged by this: unfollow me right now.

[Pharmassists @Pharmassists]

When will the DOJ sue PBMs?

@RfactsFacts @pcmanet That’s a great way to reduce the cost of drug by 1/3 over night.

[docster2000 @docster2000]

@pcmanet @OversightDems @GOPoversight “PCMA compensated the author for conducting this research”

Super reliable…….

@CNBC Please go back to the old ticker. The new layout looks like it was designed for kindergarteners.

[docster2000 @docster2000]

@CNBCTheExchange Why wasn’t she asked about how the PBM treats the contracting pharmacies?
