Former U.S. surgeon general Dr. Jerome Adams disapproves of the Trump administration’s Surgeon General Casey Means’ assessment on the measles vaccines, saying “this isn’t personal or political … it's about her not having the basic qualifications to do the job.” “She does not have an active medical license and would be the first surgeon general ever to be in the role to not have an active medical license,” he says. “But beyond that, to the point you brought up, in the midst of a massive measles outbreak, America needs a surgeon general who can clearly stand behind vaccines.”

I’m proud to continue fighting for meaningful PBM reform in the Senate. Patients – not profits – must come first. Honored to receive the Accountability for Middlemen Award as a reminder of why this fight matters.

📣Urge your Senators today to: *Preserve access to Medicaid & ACA coverage for those eligible *Protect med ed loan & forgiveness programs to strengthen future physician workforce *Include long-term, inflation-adjusted Medicare payment reform 🚨Act now: tinyurl.com/4r6hvunt

DEAR ECONOMISTS, Please follow @mass_marion and learn about the pharmacy benefit managers (PBM’s) and the group purchasing organizations (GPO’s) and how they collude with hospitals and price fix in order to justify their “rebates” (ahem…. legal kickbacks sanctioned through a safe Harbour law from the antikickback statutes since 1991,) they have a HUGE monopsony on the pharmaceutical supply chain through their “formularies” #RepealSafeHarbor
