⚠️ There are only three weeks left to submit your comments to CMS on Part D reasonable and relevant contract standards!

🧛 PBMs have been sucking the lifeblood out of community pharmacy for years.
The scariest thing this Halloween would be letting PBMs write the rules. CMS is asking what's "reasonable and relevant" in Medicare Part D, and this is your chance to influence how reimbursement works and ensure pharmacies have a voice in the process!
🦇 Don't let the vampires get the last bite.

The 340B program is an opaque, government-built spread pricing scheme that enriches all fortunate enough to wet their beaks on the arbitrage.
For large, vertically-integrated PBM/TPA/pharmacy companies, 340B is an all-you-can-eat buffet.

This independent pharmacy in Missouri was in business for 185 years. And low reimbursements from #PBMs killed it. This theme is repeated in every article about an independent pharmacy closing. | @FayettePaper

🚨 H.R. 6610 passed committee with overwhelming bipartisan support, 40-2.
One of only two members to vote NO was Rep. Eric Burlison.
Patients, families, and independent pharmacies deserve to know why.

✅ Fact: Flu viruses can circulate year-round, especially during travel, camps, and large gatherings. Awareness helps families stay protected all year long.

The #PBM lobby claims that implementing dispensing fees and standardizing reimbursement will drive up costs in every state that passes similar #PBMReform bills. But in every state that has implemented these measures, it turns out to be not the case.

Sen. Warren laid it out plainly: Express Scripts reportedly billed the DoD ~$484 MORE per generic drug when it filled the script at its own pharmacy.
The DoD official's response? "I'm not aware of the cost."
Asked why 13,000 pharmacies have walked away from TRICARE? "The contractor is meeting its contractual requirements."
Let that sink in. Here's one drug — Droxidopa, 90-day supply:
💵 Cash, no insurance: $180🏪 TRICARE pays an independent: $131🏬 TRICARE pays a big chain: $2,400🏴☠️ Express Scripts pays ITSELF: $9,700
Same pills. Same bottle. The only thing that changes is who's pocketing the spread — and it's the middleman, every time.
And they don't stop at gouging pharmacies. They gouge patients too. That same drug at an Express Scripts pharmacy? $13 copay. At your local independent? $48 — even though the independent option saves the plan over $9,000.
You read that right. They charge YOU more to steer you toward the option that costs the PLAN more. Because the friction is the point. Every closed pharmacy, every inflated price, every "I'm not aware" — it all feeds the same machine.
This is why we fired Express Scripts and the PBM middlemen who profit by making your healthcare worse.
No PBMs. No hidden fees. Just transparent cash pricing.
