As someone who has spent decades advocating for patients, it’s heartbreaking to see how broken the PBM system has become. The FTC’s latest report shines a spotlight on the devastating realities of our healthcare system: patients skipping essential medications or draining their savings just to afford the care they need. Meanwhile, traditional PBMs mark up generics by as much as 1,000% and profit off the pricing. Employers, patients, and independent pharmacies all bear the burden of these exploitative practices. This isn’t just a business problem—it’s a human problem. The FTC’s report is a cry for all of us to demand better. Patients deserve a healthcare system that prioritizes their care over the PBM’s profits. As long as these conflicts of interest exist in this space there will be no change. It’s time to fix pharmacy benefits for good. #PBM #PBMReform #healthcare #pharmacy https://lnkd.in/e45fES9F
