Dear Supporters,
We need more comments submitted to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about how healthcare consolidation is hurting us. For example, three large insurers merged in such a way that they use their pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to force their own pharmacies, delay and deny meds to the point many give up, oversee reimbursements of competitors, and reimburse them below costs to the point of closure. They most often put billion-dollar profits ahead of patients. The largest three PBMs are Optum RX, CVS Caremark, & Express Scripts.
Please, take a few minutes out of your day & leave a quick comment here for the FTC. If we could get 1/10 of the people who complain to send a sentence or two, we would have an overwhelming number of comments that may spark change. Put your comment where it can create change! Right here >>> https://www.regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2024-0022/document
Scroll down until the words notice are viewable. The Notice will read, "Department of Justice, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Federal Trade Commission Request for Information on Consolidation in Health Care." Click Comment.
Thank you heroes!
Loretta Boesing, Patient Advocate
