11/14/23 ACTION ALERT (MA): Push PBM Reform before Tomorrow’s Full Senate Vote!
NACDS RxIMPACT is calling for your help to advance Massachusetts pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) reform to help prevent harm to patients, communities, and pharmacies!

Tomorrow, the entire Massachusetts Senate is slated to vote on a drug price transparency bill (S. 2499). Although the legislation included some important must-have PBM reforms, these provisions were removed before the bill was advanced for tomorrow’s vote. 

NACDS RxIMPACT is calling on YOU to help ensure REAL PBM REFORM overshadows any efforts by the PBM community to derail – or sabotage – these critically-necessary reforms! YOU have the power to tell your Senators to stand strong and confront ‘pharmaceutical benefit manipulation’ in the legislative process. Join others calling for leaders to ensure the final version includes meaningful reform!
 
As you well know, PBMs have complicated and exploited the system for their own profit and at the expense of patients, communities, employers, taxpayers, and pharmacies. These tactics drive up prescription drug prices that force pharmacies to provide medications below their cost to acquire and dispense them. Let’s set the PBM record straight and as the impactful PBM “explainer” video suggests, “Free Claire!” 

PBM reforms must be enacted into law as part of a total approach to turning the tide on PBM abusive practices that force patients and others to pay more for their medicines, that limits patients’ access to their pharmacist, that restricts patients’ access to the medicines right for them, and that jeopardizes the pharmacies on which patients rely. 
 
Help NACDS RxIMPACT promote PBM reform by sending a letter to your State Senator in Massachusetts! Simply type in your contact information and the system will generate  a message to your Senator.
