@RonGant will you support Community Pharmacies in your district by voting YES on HB 1398?
These small businesses that serve Tennessee patients are suffering due to PBM’s and their shady practices.
Let’s make TN a pro-business and pro-patient state
"For a patient going through cancer ... anything we can do to make the process easier for them is of paramount importance. " - Dr. Schleicher before TN House Insurance Subcommittee
Thank you Dr. Schleicher for helping us pass this UNANIMOUSLY! @TNOncology
Tennessee Oncology's Dr. Stephen Schleicher strongly supports Tennessee Senate Bill 1617, ending middle men from artificially inflating drug costs for health plans as well as giving patients the freedom to choose any pharmacist they prefer. https://t.co/iN85wjIn3B
Drug expenditures keep going up.
Plan sponsors and patients are paying

And those middlemen, the

Very, very rich. And they’ve done it
at the expense of plan sponsors and
consumers.
Let's put Patients First
