Last night in the #SOTU, President Biden said, “Americans are tired of being played for suckers” when it comes to hidden fees, and we couldn’t agree more. It's time for our elected officials to take action against #PBMs who hike up costs and keep discounts intended for patients.

We’re proud to stand behind President Biden's Cancer Moonshot, but we know that price controls stifle growth. Innovation leads to breakthroughs and job creation. Let's foster a thriving ecosystem for innovation to flourish. #SupportInnovation #CancerMoonshot

While today’s Senate Commerce Republicans hearing is a good start to addressing #PBMs, no reform is meaningful without looking at PBM business practices. #PBMs must be held accountable, and rebates must be passed along to patients and plan sponsors.

As IRA implementation moves forward, it is imperative that Congress focuses on reforming the entire supply chain including #PBMs and insurance companies. Squelching #innovation while ignoring the middle man is a race to the bottom in research and discovery

Expanding the IRA without reigning in cost drivers like PBMs misses the mark. America’s best innovators and skilled workers work to help keep patients healthy while PBMs are making record profits. Let’s focus on policies that prioritize American innovators and workers. #IRA

We can achieve affordability and accessibility without sacrificing innovation and American jobs. Calls for Congress to pass PBM reform are correct. PBM transparency will hold middlemen accountable and ensure that patients receive savings at the pharmacy counter. #PBMs

.CMSGov announcement to institute price controls on medicines will negatively impact future medical innovation and jobs. Any policies to lower the cost of medicines must reform the entire supply chain, including the unfair practices by PBMs and insurers tinyurl.com/66swdkmb

The Most Favored Nation (MFN) policy threatens to undercut investment in America’s biopharma industry by imposing price controls that could slow innovation and cost union jobs. Protecting this sector means supporting policies that drive growth and secure middle-class careers #MFN
