Trump does not believe in fair and free elections. He believes in one thing: authoritarianism.

@PrincessCruises Island Princess from June 24th mishandled my small backpack. I reported immediately on board. Nothing happened. They declined to ship to next port, last Hotel (princess owned). Still waiting for it to arrive at my home. Called 7 times already. No luck.

My PBM mafia life Monday edition PBM OptumRx owned by $UNH Buprenorphine patches Last month paid $100.37 This month $51.97 Includes $0.75 dispensing fee Net cost is $90-135 depending on wholesaler PBM CVSCaremark owned by $CVS Cyclopentolate ophthalmic drops Paid $1.90 No dispensing fee PBM CVSCaremark Atorvastatin 10mg 30 tablets Paid $0.17 No dispensing fee You probably don’t care PBMs are able by virtue of their network leverage to pay independent community pharmacies these unsustainable rates. But you should at least care that these aren’t the prices they send to employer and tax payer payors. If they pay pharmacy $0.17 for a claim and then bill payor $98, how is that not racketeering? @Greg_Reybold @AAGSlater @AFergusonFTC @SecKennedy @DonaldJTrumpJr @TruthRX @WallStreetApes

Too often, corporate roll-ups of local health clinics have resulted in worse care for patients. Great to see Congressman @PatRyanUC investigate whether a series of acquisitions by Optum (owned by UnitedHealth Group) led to longer wait times, new fees, or inaccurate billing.

Echo Mike @elonmusk What is a PBM? It’s paying for “dealer installed protection package” It’s asking for a box fan in a tornado It’s USAID for insurance monopoly It’s parasitic drag It’s a tower in class G airspace It’s wearing a double breasted suit in the swimming pool

From the point of manufacturing to patients using it; in the whole process of prescription medicines, the unknown middlemen PBM makes the most profit. The retail pharmacist makes the least, if any. #ReformPBM #FixRx @DOGE @POTUS @elonmusk @HHSGov
