Host Your Legislators
Turn Up the Heath and Finish the Fight by Hosting Your Legislators for a Visit
Your continued engagement is necessary to turn up the heat and ensure Congress finishes the fight and passes robust PBM reforms! We were on the cusp of achieving great policy wins in December before backlash on unrelated items caused the entire legislative package to fall apart.
This is a time to discuss with your legislator the need to push the previously agreed upon PBM reforms, including enhanced transparency and a ban on spread pricing in Medicaid managed care programs and requiring CMS to define and enforce reasonable and relevant Part D contract terms, across the finish line in any legislative vehicle that could move.
Hosting legislators or their key staff for a visit to your pharmacy and meeting with them face to face is the best way to convey the urgency of pushing robust PBM reforms across the finish line.
Let them see firsthand the important role you play in your community and the egregious PBM abuses you face. We need all community and LTC pharmacists to participate and keep the pressure on our elected officials to finish the fight by passing strong legislation. This year, members of Congress are scheduled to be away from Washington July 28-September 1 providing tremendous opportunities to host them in your pharmacy. After all the progress Congress has made, it is imperative they push these commonsense reforms across the finish line and don't let the PBMs off the hook.
Please let us know of your interest in participating by completing this interest form or by emailing Michael Rule at [email protected]. He will follow up with you to help you invite your legislators for a visit to your pharmacy.
