Here’s to the @Commpharmacy Regional Chain Advisory Group! Thanks to all your guidance and leadership! #mlc2025
Stop the #PBM greed @realDonaldTrump before more local independent pharmacies close and more patients lose healthcare access.
The @FTC's second interim staff report on PBMs focuses on influence over specialty generic drugs, revealing dispensing patterns suggesting the big PBM-insurers steer highly profitable prescriptions to their affiliated pharmacies and away from others. bit.ly/3DUWu6M
The Big 3 #PBMs generate > $7.3 BILLION in revenue via markups for generic specialty drugs dispensed at the pharmacies THEY OWN. Thanks @FTC for keeping up the pressure. Congress must act NOW! @SpeakerJohnson @LeaderJohnThune @RepJeffries @SenSchumer

$5 Billion in savings. Enough said. Get #PBMReform done and stop the PBM madness leading to increased drug costs. 👇👇👇@SpeakerJohnson @RepJeffries @SenSchumer @LeaderMcConnell @RonWyden @MikeCrapo
Whether part of a standalone health care bill or a government funding agreement, #PBMreform can't wait! It saves taxpayer money, increases transparency, eases patient access to care and creates a fairer playing field for community pharmacy. ncpa.co/pdf/2024/cr-hill-bla… #FinishTheFight
PBM reform is a huge win in the continuing resolution.
"We're taking the middlemen outta healthcare, which will dramatically drive down the cost of medication for Americans." - @SpeakerJohnson
Getting ANY federal legislation across the finish line is EXTREMELY difficult. We are SO CLOSE to Medicaid managed care and Medicare Part D #PBM reform that will give independent pharmacy a chance to fight another day. Let’s go!! Contact your Member of Congress NOW!
This follows years of work by NCPA and our members, and we can’t let up now.
🔥Keep up the pressure through our grassroots portal! ncpa.org/legislative-action-…

🚨Congress has included NCPA's top priorities in the CR being prepared for a vote this week! Community pharmacies are on the verge of groundbreaking and desperately needed #PBMreform.
#FinishTheFight and pass the CR! ncpa.org/newsroom/news-relea…
As if today wasn’t already turning out to be a very bad day for #PBMs…
For years, the benefit managers, or P.B.M.s, took payments from opioid manufacturers, including Purdue Pharma, in return for not restricting the flow of pills. nytimes.com/2024/12/17/busin…
Independent pharmacy is in survival mode. Congress please get #PBM reform done now so local pharmacies have a fighting chance! @HouseGOP @Commpharmacy @SenSchumer @LeaderMcConnell @SpeakerJohnson
Insurers/PBMs continue to try to kill d all PBM reform. They’re throwing everything & the kitchen sink at it so you know this legislation must be the right thing to do for taxpayers, patients, seniors, pharmacists and all Americans! It’s saved BILLIONS too! @HouseGOP @ncpa
There's a new version of this post
Independent pharmacy has fought too long and hard for #PBM reform for our patients! The time is NOW to ACT Congress! @Commpharmacy @SenSchumer @SpeakerJohnson @HouseGOP
We have the votes for #PBM reform. Patients are demanding it. It's time to get this done.
Independent pharmacists tune in Monday March 4th at 12pm ET for an important event from @WhiteHouse discussing #PBM price gouging. @Commpharmacy is fortunate to have 2 amazing owners representing our industry! youtube.com/watch?v=DiA6hAsl…
Thank you to the @Commpharmacy Regional Chain Advisory Group and your dedication to independent pharmacy and time spent in D.C. this week!
