Started looking at legislation that @warren.senate.gov and @joshhawley.bsky.social offered to reform PBMs. Definitely resolves some important points. But I it ignores just how smart the big PBMs are. It also ignores that there are 25 plus Pass Through PBMs that do the right thing for sponsors

Thank you. We are going to keep fighting the big insurance companies and PBMs to push prices lower.
@mcuban.bsky.social I am grateful for your CostPlus drug company. My disabled daughter is on Medicare/Medi-Cal. With "BIG, BEAUTIFUL" cuts looming, I believe CostPlus will one key to her survival. I am open to your ideas on changing healthcare, politics and the current administration. Thank you.

How a Duty To Spend Wisely on Worker Benefits Could Loosen PBMs’ Grip on Drug Prices - KFF Health News
As criticism of pharmacy benefit managers heats up, fear of lawsuits is driving some big employers to drop the “Big Three” PBMs — or force them to change.

I’m trying. I think they got the message that the biggest rip off in pharmacy is when patients have to pay the full list price during their deductible phase. And to make matters worse, a big chunk of the money goes to the PBMs and insurance companies
@mcuban.bsky.social I saw your senate hearing regarding drug pricing. I appreciate all of your explanations and thank you for fighting a good fight.

Add in banning PBMs from restricting which pharmacies you can fill your prescriptions at and I would actually be willing to destroy my inbox again for the next decade by donating money
Your doctor should decide what care you need - not a dude behind a desk or worse, an AI robot.
It's time to ban prior authorization.

As Governor, I’ll take real action to lower healthcare costs across the Commonwealth.
My Affordable Virginia Plan will crack down on PBMs driving up the costs of drugs, improve affordable healthcare options in our rural communities, and stop predatory billing practices.

Chicago Pride Pharmacy is a critical access point for patients with HIV in Lombard, but they're getting hit hard by pharmacy benefit managers.
Unfairly high prices from PBMs have put a strain on them and their customers.
It's past time we reform their unfair practices.

For too long, PBMs have served as unregulated middlemen, driving up prices for life-saving medications for patients. I’m proud to work with Rep. Buddy Carter on these reforms.
It’s time to hold PBMs accountable and ensure every American can access the medications they need.

Brand drug manufacturers subsidize hospitals and PBMs, and the insurance comps that own them.

A bill to break up UnitedHealth, CVS, Cigna and more has been introduced by a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives.
The legislation would force insurers to sell their pharmacy businesses.
It aims to combat PBMs, pharma middlemen who drive up costs.

What is your approach to dealing with the non-pass through PBMs ? What about supporting independent pharmacies in your district ? (if any are left )
It’s a serious question, and one that I deal with every day.
Curious your thoughts

It is hard to counter this combo of cynicism and lying without bonafide candidates who can throw a punch.
If we want to beat a right wing that weaponizes (justified!) public anger at Big Pharma to destroy the social safety net + spread conspiracies, we can’t run Dems who take money from Big Pharma.

Not true. We have a growing number of brand meds. The only reason we don’t have all brand meds is because the big PBMs threaten to reduce sales of the brand’s meds if they work with us.
They know we will do to brand pricing what we did to generics.

Unfortunately Cuban can only work his magic on generic drugs. Patent holders control the pricing of their own drugs.

Our legislation to put a stop to abusive practices by pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) passed the Senate Judiciary Committee. These practices increase the cost of Rx drugs & crush community pharmacies.
It’s time for CA to address the problems PBMs create for our health system. SB 41 will do that.
