Has it happened to you or your loved one? "According to Kaiser Family Foundation, 43 % of adults worry about affording their medications, and nearly 3 in 10 are forced to delay prescription to ration doses or go without entirely."
Some find out that the cash price is lower than the price the insurance is charging. Others, uncover that a generic medication is available but were not provided that option at the pharmacy counter as they walk away empty handed.
Some are not here today due to the price gouging. It is time to #stopPBMabuse Pharmacy benefit manager or PBMs set up a system that leaves patients paying the highest price that they can get by with charging with patients are paying with insurance.
Patients should always have the options to choose the pharmacy that best meets their needs, that is properly staffed to be able to assist them with issues arise, and pharmacies should be reimbursed fairly. Level the field.
