INSANE! CVS pharmacy employee shares behind the scenes look at how a drug that costs less than $4 to fill ends up costing an insured patient $97! 😮

Why are insured patients paying 24 times more? What a scam!

Although this is progress to reform PBM abuses, this will not immediately provide relief to dying pharmacies. Support HR6609 and HR6610 #pharmacistsfightback @RepAuchincloss @RepHarshbarger @RepJamesComer @FrankPallone @RepDianaDeGette

Thank you, Rep Carter!
You faced patients at the pharmacy counter for many years, and fought hard for this PBM reform. 🎉
There is more to do.
I was delighted to meet you in December in support of the Pharmacists Fight Back Act, alongside @RepJamesComer @RepAuchincloss @RepHarshbarger @RepRashida @SanfordBishop
Let’s keep pushing for patients!

[Nikki Bryant @nabpharmd]

This is why we need federal PBM reform! Please support #pharmacistsfightback by contacting your congressperson to cosponsor HR6609 and HR6610. Thank you @RepAuchincloss @RepHarshbarger and @RepJamesComer for leading the way!

[Marion E Mass, M.D. #patientsfirst #scrubsnotsuits @mass_marion]

These are fantastic points!!!
@DutchRojas, @CassandraTesla is one hell of an advocate and mom.
She was working in healthcare and very confused when her daughter Kara was diagnosed with MS but was denied access ( by the PBM/insurer) to the medication prescribed by her daughter’s world class neurologist. After fighting for nine months during which Kara’s health declined, she got a final denial. Then Kara got pregnant and she’s due for delivery next month. But of course she is less healthy because some suit made the decision to deny.
Cassandra made the trip to Washington DC on December 11 and stood next to me as I told her story and asked for the Pharmacist fight back act to pass. @RepBuddyCarter called it the most muscular of the PBM reforms.
That’s Cassandra next to me with a photo f beautiful Kara. @RepAuchincloss and @JamesComer are behind me as are some kick-butt independent pharmacy advocates.

Thank you Jake Auchincloss for amplifying the voices of community pharmacists who are fighting back against predatory PBM practices & for introducing the bipartisan Pharmacists Fight Back Act. ⁦@TruthRX⁩ ⁦@SteveMooreRx⁩ ⁦⁦@nabpharmd⁩ https://t.co/81MS3PLTMK

[Marion E Mass, M.D. #patientsfirst #scrubsnotsuits @mass_marion]

Respectfully, congressman, there is nothing fiscally responsible for hardworking Americans in extending subsidies that flow directly to insurers.
In addition, the 3 year extension sets up another fight with a likely shutdown in 2028, just in time for presidential elections.
That is NOT turning down the temperature.

Instead the off ramp offered in the bill that passed yesterday by allowing Americans to band together in an association for the simple reason that they are paying more and getting less and they are sick of doing so, gives them an off ramp from expensive plans.
In addition there are favorable PBM reforms in the bill.

🇺🇸 still needs more.
In addition to passing the BIPARTISAN Pharmacists Fight Back Act ( info in comments), the two paragraphs below describe what @Free2CareHC and many other physician and patient groups would like to see.
Most especially RADICAL transparency.
Grateful to @IndyBucksCo for publishing the piece I wrote that kicked off a healthcare cost series.
I will keep writing and exposing because an informed electorate, armed with the ability to build a true free market landscape is the best defense against our predatory healthcare system.
And I’m happy to meet or discuss with you at any time .
Merry Christmas and Happy birthday a day late.

In the next few days, Georgia will lose two more independent pharmacies: Harlem Pharmacy and Clayton Pharmacy. @RepRickAllen and @Rep_Clyde these are your districts. Have you cosponsored HR6609 and HR6610? @RepJamesComer #PharmacistsFightBack

What Dr Wax said.
🇺🇸 stop throwing good money after bad.
Fund the patient not the big insurer/PBM complex

[Greg Reybold @Greg_Reybold]

As a pharmacist herself, ⁦@RepHarshbarger⁩ knows well the games played by Fed contractor PBMs & how best to end their self dealing practices & restore market based pricing. Thank you⁩ for coleading the Pharmacists Fight Back Act! #HR 6609/6610 https://t.co/3oKjJrjb8Q

[Nikki Bryant @nabpharmd]

Thank you @RepNikkiB for your unwavering support of pharmacy access in this country! Nikki’s truly are the best! 😉 #PharmacistsFightBack HR6609 and HR6610

[Rep. Nikki Budzinski @RepNikkiB]

The cost of life-saving prescription meds are way too high. One of the culprits? PBMs.

I’m proud to reintroduce the Pharmacists Fight Back Act – a bipartisan bill to rein in these predatory drug middlemen and lower prices for Americans.

[Greg Reybold @Greg_Reybold]

Great opportunity to hear insights & thoughts from @RepAuchincloss on the reintroduction of the Pharmacists Fight Back Act (H.R. 6609 & 6610) Thank you @RepAuchincloss for fighting to end PBM pricing games & patient steering in Fed health plans.

[Nikki Bryant @nabpharmd]

@RepJamesComer we can’t thank you enough. For every patient trying to hand on to pharmacy access and every pharmacists trying to survive. Gratitude and respect! #PharmacistsFightBack

[Greg Reybold @Greg_Reybold]

Powerful words from @RepJamesComer who is coleading the Pharmacists Fight Back Act. Thank you Chairman Comer for fighting to end unfair PBM practices. Independent pharmacies and their patients are ready to fight with you! #HR 6609 & 6610.
