An open letter to the U.S. Congress

PBMs Stand Between Patients and Healthcare

16 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Three pharmacy benefit managers, CVS Caremark, OptumRx, and ExpressScripts, are handling about 85% of the insured prescriptions in this country. They engage in underhanded business practices like taking kickbacks to cover some drugs rather than others, and spread pricing to cheat pharmacies and those with insurance. What I really want is Universal Healthcare but until we get there I want you to support legislation that fixes this. S 4293 (Cantwell, Grassley) The Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency Act of 2022 tried to fix this but its language was changed so that kickbacks and rebates can go to insurance companies and patients still pay more. You represent me, please fix these shoddy underhanded business practices now.
