#PBMs want lawmakers confused, courts tied up, and the public misinformed. That’s why they’re clinging to ERISA, hiding behind Medicare D, and painting every reform as a scary “Mandate.”

Don’t Buy It.

When it comes to dealing with #PBMs, does anyone else think the Robinson-Patman Act & RICO need a serious revival? 🤔

Has anyone noticed that the Republican discourse about North Carolina’s storm recovery vanished after the election? Nothing. Not a peep from them.

Probably because they don’t want you to know THEY LITERALLY DENIED FUNDING FOR NORTH CAROLINA THIS WEEK!

Crazy how that works!

On 4/15 the President signed an Exec Order renewing efforts to reduce Rx costs.

What's missing: a meaningful directive to rein in #PBMs business practices that look and feel like mafia racketeering.

Trump didn't say a word about health care last night. What is he hiding? I spent two hours hearing from Oregonians terrified about what Republican cuts to Medicare and Medicaid will mean for them. When you come for people's health care, you have hell to pay, and this time will be no different.
