Hi Everyone! I have urgent but wonderful news! The FTC will once again hear public comments about how the monopolization of industries is harming America. Sadly, we only have less than an hour left to sign up to speak. I apologize for the last minute. 

During this time, I plead with you to please use your voice to save the lives of children like my son and the future of pharmaceutical care for them. 

I'm attaching a pharmacist's one-minute video comment that explained many of the issues that pharmacists and patients experience today. 

Insurance companies have merged with pharmacy benefit managers that own mail order or retail pharmacies. This is why many patients find themselves forced to an insurance-owned or pharmacy benefit manager-owned pharmacy. For example, Cigna merged with Express Scripts. Aetna merged with CVS Caremark, CVS and CVS Specialty Pharmacy. United Healthcare merged with Optum RX. The reviews for many of these pharmacies are 1-star on several sites.

Patients deserve better in America and your voice could be the change that we need to save lives.   

I do know 3 of the people who commented about pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) during the last session. One knew about the public comment session from this petition! Thank you!  

Please keep sharing the petition. Please raise your voices louder until someone saves us. 

We appreciate your support! 

Thank you,
