In Pennsylvania alone, PBM underpayments are forcing a community pharmacy out of business every 36 hours. We are being eradicated. #TwitteRx #Pharmacy #Healthcare #PBM
@TruthRX @mcuban @linakhanFTC @BedoyaFTC @MarkCuker @TomOliverson @TXlege @CarterHighRPh Optumrx PBM for TX medicaid is forcing brand Lyrica cost $900. Generic cost $18. Pharmacy loses $110 and optumrx gets to spread price and collect rebates. This is a month supply. Criminals.
PCMA lobbyist closing comments is a claim that PBMs don't want to put any small businesses out of business AS THEY ARE KNOWINGLY PUTTING SMALL LOCALLY OWNED PHARMACIES OUT OF BUSINESS.
Lovely headline. With so many federal investigations ongoing, there just HAS to be action at some point to protect patients. 6 PBMs control 94% of all drug claims. None have fully complied with the FTC investigation. Time for tougher enforcement. beckershospitalreview.com/legal-regulato…

Remember this is not a Blue vs Red issue! It is unfortunate that Sec Bacerra is connecting copay accumulators and MC (totally unrelated) and that he believes copay accumulators DO NOT affect patients' access to care. Less bickering and more education are needed on the facts.
