Last week, 34 members of the U.S. Senate joined a letter to congressional leadership urging action on PBM reform before the end of the legislative session. The letter, led by Sens. James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.), urges support for PBM reform provisions that provide savings for taxpayers, enhance transparency by reforming pharmacy reimbursements in Medicaid managed care programs, and promote pharmacy access for seniors by enforcing reasonable and relevant contract terms in Part D.
Signatories include Sens. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Angus King, Jr. (I-Maine), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Peter Welch (D-Vt.), Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.), Jerry Moran (R-Kan.), Gary Peters (D-Mich.), Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), John Boozman (R-Ark.), Jon Tester (D-Mont.), Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), Chris Coons (D-Del.), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), and Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.).
