“Local pharmacy closings get spotlight in Washington during hearing.” ⁦Sherrod Brown⁩ call out #PBMs - it’s time for the Senate and the House to reform/regulate the corps ruining community pharmacies and patient choice. ⁦⁦Greg Landsman⁩ abc6onyourside.com/news/local/loc…

Real Doc Speaks Mark Cuban Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company For example:
7,500 life (13K members) group in San Antonio came to us in 2020. With a major carrier ASO/TPA/major PBM, same ole story costs outta control/we need help, caught broker taking $$$$ from carrier/PBM.

Real Doc Speaks Overpaying for drugs via Employer plans is the easiest fix. If consultants aren’t advising Clients to move away from the big PBMs, working directly with local/indy pharmacies,& wrapping Mark Cuban Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company sourcing in-they’re either corrupt/taking $$ or lazy/should be fired.

The number of pharmacy malpractice inquiries at our law firm has increased in the last couple of years.

Pharmacist pay is going down and the working conditions are sometimes horrific. Long hours, unreasonable production expectations, lack of tech support, etc.

I believe that…

Coaching Lebron has to be the worst job in the NBA. No credit for winning and immediately get scapegoated when they lose. A lot of people forget he wanted Spoelstra fired his first year in Miami. Spoelstra is now regarded as one of the best coaches of all time.

I still can't get over this exchange between Elizabeth Warren and Andrew Witty. Semantics aside, UnitedHealth still has 90,000 physicians who have a financial incentive to work with, and look out for, UnitedHealth. That is no small thing.

Adam J. Fein Novo Nordisk forcing pharmacies to subsidize the costs is a win for everyone but the pharmacies. maybe they will all still be happy when every non-pbm affiliated pharmacy stops carrying their products. $100+ loss on a single month supply is not unusual for independent pharmacies.

Sir Andrew Witty - when pharmacies are reimbursed below cost, they do go out of business. Just so you know this is “necessarily caused by PBMs”

Weird, when you can’t force people to use your company (like they do with prescriptions) they fail.
Wonder why that is?
Oh that’s probably the same reason why independent pharmacies are busier than ever yet making less money than ever due to reimbursing us under our cost.
