NACDS: “The Congress and states need no further validation for their bipartisan work to immediately confront pharmaceutical benefit manipulation that is devastating Americans, communities, and pharmacies of all sizes”
NACDS: “These harms are experienced brutally by pharmacies of diverse sizes and formats, including independents and chains, that do not receive preferential treatment from their vertically integrated plans and PBMs”
“Now is the time for Massachusetts to stop pharmaceutical benefit manipulation from inflating Bay Staters’ prescription drug prices and from jeopardizing access to trusted pharmacies and needed medications”
“Confronting the PBMs’ self-enriching tactics requires state and federal legislators and policymakers to do their part”
