[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

Sen. DURBIN: You walk into a patient’s room to say that *essential cancer therapy* is held up by a PBM. How do you explain that?

Medical oncologist: We’re well-trained to tell a patient bad news. But since I’ve started, there are more conversations about affording medications.

[Senate Judiciary Democrats 🇺🇸 @JudiciaryDems]

WOW. Watch this medical oncologist talk about her patient… a 46-year-old math teacher, the kind who you’d want teaching your kids.

Time was critical to treat his cancer… but a pharmacy benefit manager delayed his care.

“This is what we’re up against.”
