CVS just scraped the cream off the top of their business and then cut the dead weight.
That doesn’t mean that the move isn’t important or healthy progress. It is.
But…
This isn’t “breaking up big medicine.”
It’s clinging to big medicine and unloading the leftovers.
CVS bets on break-up to dodge political backlash against healthcare giants

Disguise. Distract. Distort.
The PBM playbook, now on display in federal court. Tomorrow, we pour a glass and break down the Act 624 arguments.

PBMs: “We set the price, pick the pharmacy, AND fill the script.”
Arkansas: “Pick one.”

ICYMI: More than half a billion dollars in overcharges from supposed “pass-through” contracts. Where did the savings go?
Four federal audits found more than $580 million in PBM overcharges, even though contracts required negotiated savings to reach federal employee health plans.
APCI Insights examines the findings and why enforceable payment rules matter for independent pharmacies, patients, and taxpayers.

Since #HR6610’s July markup, independent pharmacies that backed the bill have been hit with a wave of PBM audits.
Chairman @RepJamesComer: “This raises concern that these audit notices were sent or timed to retaliate for their support of H.R. 6610.”

Your Pharmacy. Your Choice. 💊
H.R. 6610, the #PharmacistsFightBack Act, would:
✅ Protect your pharmacy choice
✅ Stop PBM self-dealing with tax dollars
✅ Lower drug costs & premiums
✅ Help local pharmacies stay open
Contact your legislator: bit.ly/44WZYAg
Let’s thank our local pharmacists for their hard work & dedication to ensuring we receive quality care, guidance & medication.
