In a report, the regulator sharply criticized pharmacy benefit managers, a reversal from its longstanding hands-off approach to policing the companies.
By “middlemen” does she mean “the insurance industry”?
The article details issues with pharmaceutical benefit managers, which 2 of the big 3 are owned by insurance companies and the third is owned by CVS
CVS is also selling insurance now btw
Shame that they probably can’t do anything about it with the Chevron decision.
Don’t worry, I was told here on Lemmy after SCOTUS struck down Chevron that putting these sort of things in the hands of the judiciary was a good idea.
I’m curious if the people who insisted that felt the same way after SCOTUS also said that the president can commit crimes?
Really? You think PBM’s are driving up pricing? Genius!
So, we just need to cut out the middlemen.
PBMs have always been a trojan horse
Really? You don’t say…
An investigation by The New York Times published last month found that the benefit managers often act in their own interests, at the expense of patients, employers and taxpayers.
So shocked. 🙄 Why it takes so many years for them to notice or do anything.
