@Cjpearson I had to show my id to visit a family member in a St. Louis hospital this weekend. This argument about having ids to vote is a hardship on citizens is weak.
PBMs negotiate rebates from drugmakers for formulary placement, but rebates—often 30-50% of list price—encourage inflated starting prices since they're percentage-based. Major PBMs like CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx are owned by insurers and pharmacy giants, not pharma companies, fostering vertical integration that critics say prioritizes profits over transparency. For generics like Imatinib, cash prices dropped to $30-60 amid competition, yet Medicare reimbursements lag due to opaque benchmarks and fees, costing billions extra annually. Reforms targeting rebate pass-through could align incentives better.
@joelpollak@BreitbartNews@HawleyMO how can the state of Missouri sue CVS, Optum, Aetna and Anthem? I work for an independent pharmacy that will be closing in 2 weeks. Something has to be done. Every other prescription is underwater.
@still_boneless I absolutely despise speaking with foreign contract workers. I've always gotten way better results from American call centers who think for themselves and don't follow a script. I'm sorry you were duped.
@Flaxxie316859@ScottPresler I would hope your child has a bank account . The school should be able to provide address proof. If it’s college, she should be receiving mail from them. You are over thinking this.
@XRP_Bizzle@DMichaelTripi@BombTheHomeless@hodgetwins A bank statement works too! You can also use the license reminder postcard as proof of residence. I’m 55 years old and had to show a birth certificate 40 years ago to get drivers license. This is not new.
@AlyPow96@labtechleigh@SecKennedy So, this was introduced to a Mennonite community that was in Mexico? The CDC website says that measles was officially eliminated in the US in 2020 and any outbreak has always been introduced from outside the country. I think that is a very important narrative.
