Why let insurance companies and corporate PBM middlemen decide where you get your prescriptions filled? You deserve the freedom to choose the pharmacy that works best for you!

HR 9096, the Pharmacists Fight Back Act, is here to change that. It gives patients in federal healthcare plans the power to pick their own pharmacy—no more being pushed around by big corporations.

Drug costs have gone up exponentially for far too long on seniors. The PBMs are taking advantage of Medicare patients by increasing drug prices to pad their bottom lines. They are taking advantage of the most vulnerable portion of our society who are on a fixed income. It’s time to urge your US Representative to co-sponsor HR 9096 the Pharmacists Fight Back Act.

HR 9096 will save seniors approximately $40 BILLION in drug costs in Medicare Part D alone by forcing corporate middlemen to pass through 80 percent of the rebates they receive from manufacturers to PATIENTS - instead of using it to pad their bottom lines!

PBMs and their affiliated entities may have the incentive and ability to engage in steering a growing share of prescription revenues to their own pharmacies through specialty drug classification, self-preferential pricing, and pharmacy contracting procedures to target and control the business operations of pharmacies.
