“Without legislative (#PBM) reform, both on a state and federal level we’re doomed. They often pay us 20, 30, 50, or 100 dollars below our cost of the drug itself. Much less the service required to get that drug to the patient,” he said. https://ow.ly/pS8C50UgJ4Z

“These groups pushed a profit-fueled agenda at the expense of Kentucky families, who are left with empty seats at the dinner table. Our Office will continue to hold those behind the drug crisis accountable for their devastating actions.” https://ow.ly/CZ2p50UgIUG

It would be one thing if the soaring prices were the result of customary economic forces. But they’re not. Somebody’s got their finger on the scale, and sick Americans are paying the price. https://ow.ly/AfHX50UeT4u

“No state has done more than New York now has to try to put a stop to the kinds of abuses PBMs have been accused of for quite some time.” https://ow.ly/TCuw50UeSSh

“This was, at best, a boondoggle,” he said. https://ow.ly/f3Lt50UcIeT

Patients are often left to bear excessive costs for life-sustaining medications as PBMs prioritize higher-cost drugs that increase their own profits. https://ow.ly/QBCq50UcI9c
