Pay attention everyone. The city and unions hold contracts with criminal enterprises like Aetna/CVS Health. If the government really wants to reign in waste fraud and abuse, this is where you start.

The PBM Reform Act is a bipartisan effort to stop abusive #PBM practices in Medicaid and Medicare Part D. As a pharmacist, Carter knows firsthand how PBMs hurt patients and local pharmacies—and he’s taking action. 💊⚖️
The PBM Reform Act will:
✅ Ban “spread pricing” in Medicaid and move to a transparent system that ensures pharmacies are fairly and adequately reimbursed for serving Medicaid beneficiaries.
✅ Establish new requirements for PBMs under Medicare Part D, including a policy to delink PBM compensation from the cost of medications and increase transparency.
✅ Promote transparency for both employers and patients in their prescription drug plans, with semi-annual reporting on drug spending, rebates, and formulary determinations.
✅ Require Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to define and enforce "reasonable and relevant" contract terms in Medicare Part D pharmacy contracts and enforce oversight on reported violations.

Pharmacies should boycott filling GLP1 injectables like Ozempic, Mounjaro... Let's see what the manufacturers do after we shed light on who's making the profits. Get PBMs out of the game
“There are some independents that are reluctant to take on Rite Aid business, and they've created some sort of system of priority, like a wait list, because they can't handle all the volume.
They look at the list and they prioritize who they want to take on and who they don't want to take on based on their insurance plan and their drugs.
Bottom line is, if the Rite Aid patients represent business that loses money, why would you want to take on those Rite Aid patients?
That's dependent upon their insurance plan and the medications they use.”
Not to mention the fact that when the stores take on the additional business, pharmacists are so overworked and stressed they are taking their owns lives…
Isn’t that right @cvspharmacy
