There’s a good reason the US and dozens of other countries and cities have adopted the IHRA definition of antisemitism. When leaders move to revoke it, like what happened today in New York, it should alarm everyone—especially as violence against Jews is dangerously escalating.

If you can, please consider leaving even a quick comment. The Federal Trade Commission
@FTC The Dept of Justice @TheJusticeDept
& Dept of Health & Human Services
@HHSGov is accepting comments about how the consolidation in healthcare has impacted you. Please comment if you are having any issues as you're forced to a certain pharmacy, quality issues, pricing issues, delays, etc. Link is here regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2…
I hope express script and Cigna stops forcing #Accredo on their patients. How do you claim to want optimal health outcome and put your members through this? How is this even legal? It’s so unfair and ridiculous.

@FTC @linakhanFTC @TruthRX @Humana @BoesingLoretta An update to my tweet from last week where Humana processed an Rx & took $$ from my pharmacy even though the customer had @Prime_PBM as their PBM. I called Humana & they have no personal info for this person. How did they do it?

Is the US list price for Eliquis $7,100?
Bristol Myers CEO: Yes.
Does your company make a profit selling Eliquis in Canada for $900?
Bristol Myers CEO: Yes.
Will you lower the US price of Eliquis down to the price in Canada?
Bristol Myers CEO: No.
Eliquis costs $18 to make

@GSK it’s really sad that you make your employees buy your drugs and then they can’t get them filled because you aren’t reimbursing the independent pharmacy enough $$. And on top of that, we are right here in your back yard in NC. @TruthRX @BoesingLoretta

@CVSHealth does NOT allow patients to appeal a denied #PriorAuthorization. It has to go through the physician's office. What kind of bullshit is this? I've been on this medication for 4.5 damn years due to severe insulin resistance with #Type1Diabetes. #Ozempic @BoesingLoretta

I am once again asking @FTC to break up PBMs, like Optum and CVS Caremark and Express Scripts. Reign in these mega corporations/cartels that provide no value to patients and are extorting health care workers and small businesses.

CVS, PBMs and the other chains drive independent pharmacies out of business, then close their stores. This creates pharmacy deserts.

Joined patient, provider, pharmacy, consumer, organized labor & antitrust groups calling for Congress to break link betwn #PBM compensation & cost of prescription drugs. Removing market incentives to drive up costs is impt; more competition & lower costs. bit.ly/4a8gj5Y

Express Scripts Mail Order Pro-tip: Choose the option on the phone tree for "Regulatory agency or Board of pharmacy". They answer FAST!

These are the transcripts + videos of the Congressional testimonies of Ady Barkan, who touched so many lives + helped lead a transformation in this country for how we think about, talk about, provide + organize around health care. @BeaHero #MedicareForAll

Team @BeAHero here. Many of you have asked what you can do for Ady’s family as they grieve.
One way you can help is by donating to the GoFundMe created by his friends. It would have meant the world to Ady to see folks come together to support his family.

@cvspharmacy this is the 5th time your pharmacy hasn’t filled my rx even though the automated system said it would be done. They are making customers come in to get RX filled. I’m forced to go to CVS with my insurance. Yet you can’t do your job correctly. illegal. Liable??

I went to a rock concert last night in SF at the Warfield theater. Outside the accessible bathroom, they had staff to check that disabled people had priority to use it and it wasn't open to the general public. Was completely awesome. @thewarfield #thisisms #Disability
