Watch the newly released one-minute summary of NACDS’ March 14 press conference to support the enactment of federal PBM reform legislation, without delay. Watch it now…
Surrounded by hundreds of pharmacists and pharmacy representatives with signs reading “PBM Reform Now,” ”Patients Can’t Wait,” “Get It Done,” U.S. Senate Finance Committee Chair, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR); and U.S. Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member, Senator Mike Crapo (R-ID), stood together as bipartisan leaders and pressed the case for essential PBM reforms in Medicare and Medicaid.
The event was presented in conjunction with 2024 NACDS RxIMPACT Day on Capitol Hill, which brought more than 300 pharmacy advocates from all 50 states to Washington, DC.
