The @FTC's second interim staff report on PBMs focuses on influence over specialty generic drugs, revealing dispensing patterns suggesting the big PBM-insurers steer highly profitable prescriptions to their affiliated pharmacies and away from others. https://t.co/m1jPVnZrI1
The Big 3 #PBMs generate > $7.3 BILLION in revenue via markups for generic specialty drugs dispensed at the pharmacies THEY OWN. Thanks @FTC for keeping up the pressure. Congress must act NOW! @SpeakerJohnson@LeaderJohnThune@RepJeffries@SenSchumer

Whether part of a standalone health care bill or a government funding agreement, #PBMreform can't wait! It saves taxpayer money, increases transparency, eases patient access to care and creates a fairer playing field for community pharmacy. https://t.co/5X3N5ijYDo #FinishTheFight
PBM reform is a huge win in the continuing resolution.
"We're taking the middlemen outta healthcare, which will dramatically drive down the cost of medication for Americans." - @SpeakerJohnson
Getting ANY federal legislation across the finish line is EXTREMELY difficult. We are SO CLOSE to Medicaid managed care and Medicare Part D #PBM reform that will give independent pharmacy a chance to fight another day. Let’s go!! Contact your Member of Congress NOW!
This follows years of work by NCPA and our members, and we can’t let up now.
��Keep up the pressure through our grassroots portal! https://t.co/688UOOk1kX
🚨Congress has included NCPA's top priorities in the CR being prepared for a vote this week! Community pharmacies are on the verge of groundbreaking and desperately needed #PBMreform.
#FinishTheFight and pass the CR! https://t.co/5VaKUsQyn9
As if today wasn’t already turning out to be a very bad day for #PBMs…
For years, the benefit managers, or P.B.M.s, took payments from opioid manufacturers, including Purdue Pharma, in return for not restricting the flow of pills. https://t.co/txMS7zURKA
Insurers/PBMs continue to try to kill d all PBM reform. They’re throwing everything & the kitchen sink at it so you know this legislation must be the right thing to do for taxpayers, patients, seniors, pharmacists and all Americans! It’s saved BILLIONS too! @HouseGOP@ncpa
