When we look at the difference between what Medicare has paid to pbms and pbm owned health insurance companies vs. what providers were actually paid, you'll see that these mega corporations are literally robbing our nation's coffers...and they don't administer 1 oz of healthcare.
🚨144-0 votes #Bipartisan ALL republicans & democrats in Louisiana House of Reps voted against a contract that would harm patients as it would not reimburse pharmacists above cost of meds. Legislators asked #CVS to negotiate contract. CVS 🤐 didn't show @linakhan @BedoyaFTC @FTC
There you have it folks There will be no help this year @POTUS thanks for nothing @SenateGOP @SenateDems @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats @TruthRX “PBM bills, other health policies fail to make funding package” modernhealthcare.com/politics-polic… via @modrnhealthcr
PBMs are so compassionate with our money. Love when they tell a patient the drug is on formulary and then proceed to pay the pharmacy below cost of the drug. Cheaper to just write out a check to the patient instead of fill their med. Afterall, that's really what WE ARE doing.
$334 BILLION in rebates alone...let that sink in. That right there tells you why the cost of drugs are so high! PBMs extracted kickback money from manufactures for formulary placement. Look at how much we could save by eliminating the PBM middlemen @FTC @POTUS
"Large PBMs, their insurers, and their attack dogs have falsely accused this legislation as having a tax. It does not have a tax." | @WTVYNews4 ow.ly/oje950QSz3z
@SenToomey It sure will. Eliminating PBm will save billions. PBMs inflated drug cost by galloping rebates, charging spread price, steering patients to self serve and not to forget lobbying money. Eliminate all that and you have free fall of drug prices.
Please retweet! @XavierBecerra
Imagine selling car to someone and 3 months later, that someone is able to reach into your bank account and take back 10% of what they paid you, making that sale unprofitable. We'd call that theft. PBMs call it a day at the office.
Mark Cuban laid into pharmacy benefit managers at the White House today. Three PBMs, middlemen owned by giant healthcare firms like CVS and UnitedHealth, dominate how drugs are priced. And they’re price gouging essential drugs at the expense of patients in need. @mcuban
HELL YES @mcuban bring it down. @CMSGov @FTC @linakhanFTC @POTUS This is on you now. It’s been laid out. If you allow them to continue to exist it’s because of money.
.@CNN why isn’t the change health care ransomware attack not the biggest thing, talked about daily, and on the minute by minute ticker, every day. It is literally gonna kill people.
“Every day that passes without #PBMReform is a day a community in America risks losing access to a pharmacy, its most readily available healthcare provider.” — via @TruthRX pahomepage.com/business/press…

It is imperative that patients not find out the true costs of their medications. If people had to pay out of pocket for meds, the price would drop precipitously. It would be similar to consumer goods. No one pays $100.00 for a Coke; if that was the price, everyone would drink…

In my years in the drug pricing and pharmacy world, this is one of the best explainers I’ve ever seen highlighting the inherent dysfunctional rot at the core of the U.S. pharmaceutical ecosystem.

Wholesalers are making record profits while pharmacies close. They could be the good partners they claim to be and provide immediate help to pharmacies until reimbursement is fixed. Do the right thing @cardinalhealth @Advocacy_ABC @McKesson @TruthRX #TwitteRx #pharmacy

It was on this day in History, where Change Healthcare went offline and every Indy in the United States turned a profit.
PBMs charged Medicaid (taxpayers) $147 for a heartburn med. PBM only paid the pharmacy $17 & pocketed $130 for themselves as payment processors. Imagine buying milk & paying the credit card co $130 for processing. Only corruption would allow this to continue. #StopPBMabuse
Local pharmacies are taking a hit from PBM practices. Congress needs to #endPBMabuse cajunconservatism.com/blog/2024/1/16…

Congress members waiving Ukraine flags around is DISGUSTING considering the problems we have right here in our country. VOTE THEM OUT IN NOVEMBER!
Traitors!! Let’s Deport these sorry excuses to Ukraine! I will pay full price for a one way ticket! Who is with me?
It’s really quite sad that Biden & US Congress-members care more about Ukraine’s border security than our own. America deserves better!
I’m just going to buy the US government and shut it down. It’s probably better for the world. I’ll run the country instead. Thoughts?

Moscow. Now it is clear what "pleasant surprises for Putin" Victoria Nulland was talking about in Kiev. Zelensky said that Putin would be surprised. The State Department said there would be terrorist attacks. They planned and did it all. I hope that Russia will not say anything…
Our Republican majority is a complete failure. We have the power of the purse, which means we can control what the entire government does. Tomorrow Speaker Johnson is funding the government that has created this invasion. I’m voting NO! SHUT IT DOWN!

PBMs have stolen pharmacy valuations. DIR FEES have lead to reduced valuations for independent pharmacies while pbm valuations have skyrocketed. For every $ of DIR fee, $3 -$5 of pharmacy valuation is lost. $300k/yr in DIR = $900k - $1.5 Mil lost is pharmacy valuations. @FTC
When the financial crisis hit, banks got bailed out. Pharmacies are all about to go under as a result of the pbms' theft. Emergency funding for pharmacies will be needed to avoid a medicare part D medication access crisis. Contact your Congressman now. Demand IMMEDIATE ACTION.
@CMSGov you can start by paying the pharmacies back all the DIR fees absconded from pharmacies by pbms and then go after the PBMs for reimbursement. Better yet, just deduct it from your payment to them. What's good for the goose comes to mind.
PBMs are so compassionate with our money. Love when they tell a patient the drug is on formulary and then proceed to pay the pharmacy below cost of the drug. Cheaper to just write out a check to the patient instead of fill their med. Afterall, that's really what WE ARE doing.
@SenToomey PBM controls are not a free market. PBMs are a giant waste of money that drives up costs for businesses paying premiums and for the ordinary patient. Your support of them is despicable.
Letting PBM collect kickbacks , hide the kickbacks in Swiss companies, functionally rob medicaid via the spread, shut down independent pharmacies, and continue to accrue conflicts via vertical integration won't help the patients of America.
Attacking PBMs won’t solve President Biden’s inflation problem. Here is why: realclearhealth.com/blog/2024/03/1…
