2025 is the year of accountability.

PBMs have operated for too long without oversight - inflating costs, steering patients, and hurting local pharmacies. Now, change is coming.

✅ New laws are reshaping pharmacy protections.
✅ Federal crackdowns are targeting PBM abuses.
✅ Investigations are exposing PBM-owned chains.

This is the moment to demand transparency and fairness. Patients - not middlemen - must come first 💡

What does PBM reform really mean for patients?

✅ Lower drug costs so prescriptions are affordable.
✅ Freedom to choose your pharmacy, not be forced into PBM-owned or mail-order options.
✅ A system that works for people, not middlemen.

This is why reform matters. Patients deserve fairness and freedom, and local pharmacies deserve the chance to keep serving their communities. It is time to demand a system that puts health over profit 💡

PBMs have hidden behind markups, rebates, and unfair reimbursements for too long. Patients paid the price, and independent pharmacies struggled to survive.

Now Alabama is taking action. With SB 252, PBMs must reimburse at Medicaid rates, spread pricing is banned, rebates go directly to health plans, and patient choice is protected.

This is a big win for patients and pharmacies. Transparency is rising, fair prices are back, and access to care is being protected 💡

Let’s keep the momentum going - reform must continue at the federal level to ensure fairness for everyone.

Behind the curtain, PBMs are pulling the strings.

Secret markups. Hidden rebates. Steering patients into their own networks. These practices inflate drug costs, limit choice, and push local pharmacies out of business.

Patients deserve transparency. Pharmacies deserve fairness. Communities deserve a healthcare system that puts health before profit 💡

It is time to pull back the curtain and demand accountability. Reform cannot wait.

Who should decide where you get your prescriptions?
A) You
B) Your Insurance

Too often, insurance companies and PBMs are the ones making that choice. Patients are being steered away from their trusted local pharmacy and pushed into networks or mail-order systems designed for profit, not care.

This isn’t just about convenience; it’s about trust, access, and fairness. Patients deserve the right to choose their pharmacy, and communities deserve to keep care close to home 💡

It’s time to put patients first, not profit.

Have you ever noticed the same medication can cost very different amounts depending on which pharmacy you go to? You are not alone.

Prices vary because there is no strict regulation on retail costs, pharmacies face different overheads, and there is no real-time transparency in the system. Patients are left confused, paying more than they should.

What we need is simple: better price transparency, tools for easy comparison, and a system that prioritizes patients over profit.

From $95M to $290M. That’s the cost of fraud.

A federal judge ruled that CVS Caremark must pay nearly $290 million after a whistleblower exposed false drug cost reports that inflated Medicare Part D spending in 2013 and 2014.

The court described Caremark’s conduct as “reckless disregard” and “deliberate ignorance.” This case shows what patients and independent pharmacies already know: PBMs inflate costs while families and taxpayers pay the price.

Patients deserve fairness, not inflated costs. Reform is the only way to protect communities and keep local pharmacies alive 💡

Your voice can help save the next pharmacy.

Across the country, community pharmacies are being forced to close. When that happens, patients lose trusted care, affordable access, and an essential part of their neighborhood.

PBM practices, hidden fees, unfair reimbursements, and patient steering, are putting local pharmacies at risk of shutting down. The result is higher costs, fewer choices, and communities left without care.

We can change this. Support PBM reform and stand with independent pharmacies. Together, we can keep care local and protect the patients who depend on us.
