You and your patients can help us get PBM reform done

NCPA November 27, 2024

Since we started our Finish the Fight initiative in June, patients have sent over 57,000 letters to all 100 Senate offices and 430 of 435 House of Representatives offices. But there’s still a lot more work to do to get the job done. We’re calling it 10 to win: If every pharmacist were to get 10 of their patients to send letters to their representatives in Congress before the end of this session, they’d be flooded with messages in support of PBM reform. So, let’s do it!

It’s a simple process:

  1. Visit www.ncpa.org/finishthefight

  2. Scroll to campaign resources

  3. Select a poster to print and display in your pharmacy

  4. Ask your patients to scan the QR code and enter their name and address

  5. Have them click the submit letters link to complete their action

We also need you to contact your legislators and urge them to sign onto a bipartisan letter to Congressional leadership asking for robust PBM reform before the end of the year. Sixty-nine members of Congress have cosigned the letter already.

If you don’t see your representative’s name here, we need your help getting them on board: Aderholt, Robert; Allen, Rick; Auchincloss, Jake; Barragán, Nanette; Bean, Aaron; Bentz, Cliff; Bishop, Sanford; Brownley, Julia; Bucshon, Larry; Budzinski, Nikki; Burchett, Tim; Carl, Jerry; Carter, Earl; Chavez-DeRemer, Lori; Cherfilus-McCormick, Sheila; Clarke, Yvette; Cleaver, Emanuel; Comer, James; Davids, Sharice; Davis, Donald; Dean, Madeleine; DeSaulnier, Mark; Dingell, Debbie; Duncan, Jeff; Dunn, Neal; Fleischmann, Charles; Flood, Mike; Fry, Russell; Fulcher, Russ; Gallego, Ruben; Goldman, Daniel; Gonzalez, Vicente; Graves, Garret; Grothman, Glenn; Harshbarger, Diana; Higgins, Clay; Houchin, Erin; Johnson, Henry; Kean, Thomas; Kennedy, Timothy; Krishnamoorthi, Raja; LaLota, Nick; Landsman, Greg; Langworthy, Nicholas; Letlow, Julia; Malliotakis, Nicole; Maloy, Celeste; McCormick, Richard; Mrvan, Frank; Murphy, Gregory; Owens, Burgess; Peters, Scott; Ross, Deborah; Rutherford, John; Salinas, Andrea; Schneider, Bradley; Scott, Austin; Sherrill, Mikie; Smith, Christopher; Spanberger, Abigail; Sykes, Emilia; Tenney, Claudia; Thanedar, Shri; Van Drew, Jefferson; Vasquez, Gabe; Veasey, Marc; Watson Coleman, Bonnie; Weber, Randy; Williams, Nikema; and Wittman, Robert.
