NACDS is making it unmistakable: #PBMreform is must-pass legislation in the 118th Congress ❗️ Congress must not delay in enacting bipartisan reforms to reduce Americans' drug costs and to protect access to pharmacies and prescribed medications.

PBMs: 👎 Obscure the true cost of prescription drugs 👎 Waste 100s of millions of taxpayer dollars 👎 Devastate local pharmacies with “spread pricing” Thx @RepBuddyCarter for #HR1613 to end abusive PBM practices. Thx @HouseCommerce Health Subcommittee for advancing! #PBMreform

Nationwide covid testing continues to increase and positivity rates fall. As more new testing innovations enter the market (NGS, antigen based tests) back end capacity is going to scale very fast, and any obstacles to testing will turn to the front end -> access to testing sites

🚨 For too long PBM's have: 📈 Obscured the true cost of prescription drugs 💰 Wasted 100s of millions of taxpayer $ ❌ Limited the ability to choose a #pharmacist 👎 Devastated local #pharmacies with “spread pricing” Let's make sure Congress acts with real #PBMreform .
