In this most shameful moment for US democracy in my life, I will never forget that peaceful #BLM protesters get tear-gassed but white seditionists with confederate battle flags were allowed to riot and kill in the Capitol bldg unhindered today.

[Gov. Asa Hutchinson @AsaHutchinson]

Prescription drugs can easily fall into the wrong hands if left alone in our houses. Today is Arkansas Drug Take Back Day, which provides an opportunity to safely dispose of these drugs to protect yourself and your family. Find a location near you today! https://t.co/TFanzOPF2o

@BrandonLMathews & I can attest to @JLRIII’s commitment to his students and their success. Skip has been an incredible mentor, both professionally and personally.

Columnist Rex Nelson today salutes Skip Rutherford, the retiring dean of the Clinton School of Public Service: "He has a deep interest in this state, especially its rural areas, and wants to find ways to help those areas succeed." Read more » https://t.co/QYqBhuT3ww

[Senator John Boozman @JohnBoozman]

I'm calling on @HHSGov to prevent pharmaceutical companies from undermining the 340B Drug Pricing Program & provide certainty to hospital participants including the more than 40 in Arkansas. I also support @SenJohnThune's 340B Program legislation.

I want to thank @UAMSPharmacy senior Byron Johnson for coming to the @UofA_System Board of Trustees meeting today. He shared his experiences about being a part of one of the top ranked pharmacy schools in the country. And why he considers UAMS his home away from home. #TeamUAMS

“We need to have rules...to ensure fair play in the marketplace.” Thanks @AsaHutchinson and the #Arkansas legislature for protecting patient access to local pharmacies and leading the nation in essential #PBM oversight! #BehindTheRXCurtain #arpx

Great point by AR Rep Michelle Gray- Healthcare costs have gone up, but reimbursement to providers has not. Middlemen are the problem. #BehindTheRxCurtain

[Elisabeth Mathews @LisMathews]

The @AmerMedicalAssn agrees, "Antitrust enforcers should investigate whether CVS has engaged in predatory behavior." #BehindtheRxCurtain Check out their full statement: https://t.co/fugeGQLAc7

Gov. @AsaHutchinson: "We're a rural state. Independent local pharmacists are very important…If they go out of business, that's a problem for our state." https://t.co/B6DVS0KOWv #BehindTheRXCurtain

[Michelle Webb @mwebbRX]

Here is a copy of the letter our AR independent pharmacies were sent after the major reimbursement cuts by CVS/Caremark after the first of the year. Gee thanks. For offering to buy our businesses after YOU cut our reimbursements. 🙄 #savage #behindtherxcurtain

[Elisabeth Mathews @LisMathews]

@LtGovTimGriffin Thank you for speaking up on this issue! https://t.co/Yo3nf2m8Xc

[Attorney General Tim Griffin @AGTimGriffin]

We must address the prescription drug/PBM issue because it negatively impacts practically every Arkansas household by threatening pharmacists, increasing health care costs and decreasing patient access.

[Elisabeth Mathews @LisMathews]

Thank you @RepRickCrawford #BehindtheRxCurtain https://t.co/NOUMq6kPYo

[Rep. Rick Crawford @RepRickCrawford]

Our local pharmacies have endured many unnecessary burdens due to CVS/Caremark as a PBM. Arkansas Attorney General Leslie Rutledge is currently looking into this problem, and I will support her actions at the federal level to the fullest extent I can. - https://t.co/RBdkpcZHYy

[Jason Rapert @jasonrapert]

The news is spreading and so is the response - the dark days of #PBMs shaking down independent pharmacists is getting ready to stop. I intend to do everything within my power to ensure fair-dealing replaces unfairness in this arena - starting with regulation. #behindtherxcurtain https://t.co/kzR3VMYdPc

[RxBB @Buttonbj]

One example of the egregious practices occurring in healthcare. Multiply by millions.CVS claims to save money! Anti-Trust practices @realDonaldTrump @JohnBoozman @PRyan #BehindtheRxCurtain
