EVERYONE needs to understand what PBMs are doing to the people that support patients and communities all across America. An hour on hold multiple times this week to speak to someone at our local Walgreens. Independents do not have much time left unless something is done!!

This is how short I am paying drug bill(s) due Monday 2/10/25. I have no available savings ($100,000 drained in 2024) nor LOC left ($40,000)! @Walgreens in my town is closing 2/25/25. I’ve received numerous transfers. We did over 1600 prescriptions last week, average of 300 per day. The only other pharmacy in town busier than me is @cvspharmacy and @Walmart. So, I’m doing the business. This is in addition to being the only HME/DME provider in 30 miles. My salary is $50/hr. I have no large personal expenses being funded by my business (no boat, no RV, no airplane, no second home). My wife and I have 1 house. 1 child. 1 dog. A 5 year old Ford Explorer, a 10 year old GMC Sierra, and a 16 year old GMC Sierra. I have been a pharmacist for 20 years, so no school loans either. What’s the problem: @CencoraGlobal Pricing? Elevate PSAO reconciliation? Everyone letting PBMs racketeer? @OptumRx I hate you @CVSHealth I hate you @ExpressScripts I hate you @Humana I hate that you under pay over $30 on some Part D brands. I hope I can stay in business long enough to see @GOPoversight @OversightDems @RobertKennedyJr @HHSGov regulate PBMs out of existence

Vaccines work. Vaccine denial kills. It’s that simple.

I was a tyrant when I first started teaching English in the early 70's. I ruled my classes with the threat of a 200 word composition for any infraction of my class rules. My dark age. #EdChat

Our ENL teachers hosted an ENL orientation where parents and students were invited in to learn about Bowling Green, meet our ENL staff and ask questions.

Drug on the left = $570 Drug on the right = $356 Which drug would you want to purchase knowing that the tablets are identical and are made in the same manufacturing plant? The cheaper one obviously, right? Then why do major PBMs exclude the cheaper one?

Insurance requires a DAW 9 for Farxiga since they don’t want to cover the must less expensive generic. Re-processed with DAW 9 and they still want to pay $310 UNDER COST Last month insurance paid $552, now paying $254. Guess I won’t be filling this one.

Thanks to @MedPage Today and @Genevieve Friedman for the opportunity to address the pressing challenges that community pharmacies are facing. Hopeful that positive change will happen soon!

The top 3 PBMs - CVS, OptumRx, and Express Scripts - are making hundreds of billions of dollars by acting as monopolistic middlemen who jack up your drug costs & limit your access to more affordable meds. I asked their CEOs how much they were making in profit:
