Health insurance is great... until you actually need to use it. Each day, patients are denied treatment & medicine by insurers making billions in profit.🤒 vs💰

Congress created 340B to help low-income and uninsured patients afford medication. But it's turned into a jackpot for PBMs and contract pharmacies like CVS. Today, 340B profits corporate conglomerates, not patients.

Bloomberg reports that the nation's largest PBM—CVS Caremark—is pushing insurance plans to bump co-pays for weight-loss drugs to $200 out of pocket, even as CVS has negotiated higher rebates for itself!
⬆️copays + ⬆️rebates = more profits for PBMs 🤑🤑🤑

Beware during open enrollment. Choosing the wrong health insurance plan can haunt you throughout the year. Choosing a plan with a ghost network can leave you without access to care. 👻🤒

A lot of states around the country are putting patients first by standing up to PBMs that force community pharmacies out of business. But we need more states to show leadership. Who's next?

Why are PBMs allowed to make BILLIONS of dollars from a government program designed to help low-income people without lowering costs? #340B

Healthcare Middlemen use the federal 340B program to purchase steeply discounted drugs and sell them at a jacked-up price (as much as 72%!). That's how they made $3 billion off the program in 2023. But they aren't required to use a dime of that money to lower the cost of medicine for patients.

🚨UnitedHealth Group finally admits what @wsj.com reported 2 weeks ago: the healthcare conglomerate is under investigation by the DOJ's criminal healthcare-fraud unit. But don't worry... UHG has launched an "internal audit," including its PBM. 🙄
