Public hearing held on allowing Alabama pharmacists to dispense ivermectin without prescription #alpolitics By @CalebTTaylor 1819news.com/news/item/publ…
Ever wonder why your health insurance feels like it’s working against you? It’s because you aren't the customer. In a recent congressional hearing, a pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) was grilled on why a generic drug costing $55 was being billed at $6,600. His defense? It "created…

“Working families tax cut” $6,000 bonus exemption for people who don’t work and aren’t raising families.
America’s seniors will see a new $6,000 bonus exemption as a part of the Working Families Tax Cut. That’s $93 billion in tax cuts for seniors all over the country.
If you’re not at the table then you’re on the menu. This has PBM influence written all over it.
We should sue now, b4 the next wave of drugs are added in 2027. We can't pay our wholesaler every 2 wks, when the mfgs over 2 wks to reimburse us. I'm guessing the PBMs were invited to the table to design the plan, knowing the impact on indy phcy.
Health care monopolies on patient care screw over working families and destroy your ability to access affordable care. All so corporate CEOs, like those from CVS Health, can pad their pockets. We must break up big medicine. We need a Glass-Steagall for Health Care.
.@AOC speaking to health care CEOs testifying in Congress: " I think we should put our votes and our legislation in alignment ... and consider breaking up this industry in order to allow the competition that prevents this kind of vertical integration and abuse of power."
Chairman of @WaysandMeansGOP, @RepJasonSmith put health insurance CEOs on the spot with a simple yes-or-no question: will you support real price transparency and accountability? Even these insurers admitted the system isn’t working. Patients deserve clear prices upfront.
With the exception of Merck (who paid in 1 week since getting the claim data from the PBM), we have not been paid from the manufacturers for claims data sent on 1/8 (when the data was transmitted from the PBM to the Manufacturer). Now we're paying WAC for these drugs (and the…

I believe Greenland has massive strategic benefits for the United States. I do not support taking it by force. America is not a bully. Ideally, we purchase it—similar to our purchases of Alaska or the Louisiana Purchase. Acquiring Greenland is a many decades old conversation.
Just give first-time homebuyers a one-time 3% mortgage rate if you really want to help Banning Blackstone from buying homes is not going to help affordability
NEW: Insurance giants are hiding billions meant to lower Americans’ drug costs. Our year-long investigation details how CVS, UnitedHealth, and Cigna created shell companies to evade reform efforts and hide payments received from drugmakers. Cc: @mcuban
Employer-sponsored patient last month got an albuterol inhaler for $0 since their OOP was met for the year. Their insurance paid us $9.26 for this claim in December 2025. Leaving us with a profit margin of $1.13. Today, running the same exact claim, the patient’s price is…
You see a lot claims that Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs because most of the fentanyl comes from elsewhere. I want to address this: First off, fentanyl isn't the only drug in the world and there is still fentanyl coming from Venezuela (or at least there was). Second,…

Amen. How anyone thought this was a good idea needs their head examined. Let’s add even more financial pressure to the pharmacies already hemorrhaging money due to issues beyond their control. PBMs should have been the ones waiting for their damn rebate checks, Not retail…
I love how this manufacturer pricing for part-d bullshit puts the financial burden and responsibility on the pharmacy. We have to wait for the rebate check from the manufacturers vs them just cutting it directly to CMS. Where the fuck was APhA on this issue? Oh, right...
