Change.org Petition Update (APR 17, 2022 ) — Please watch and share this video! This week, I will celebrate my son's liver transplant anniversary. His transplant surgery took 12 long hours. How much dedication healthcare professionals must have to fight so hard to save one child's life! We are so thankful. Now, his life will forever rely on medications every 12 hours. Although he survived, the fight for his life and the lives of many other patients is only just beginning.
Due to the monopolization of the insurance, pharmacy, and pharmacy benefits management (PBM) industries, his life and the lives of others are at risk as many are forced to a 1-star rated mail order pharmacy or understaffed retail pharmacy owned by the insurance company. Many face life-threatening delays, lack of proper temperature storage, and the lack of access to local pharmacy staff. Many pharmacies are closing due to forceful steering to insurance-owned pharmacies and purposeful below-cost reimbursements to these pharmacies from these same companies (Optum RX, CVS Caremark, and Express Scripts). Your voices can save patients and access to our local pharmacies. Please go to https://www.regulations.gov/docket/FTC-2022-0015/document & Click Comment. The last day to comment is April 25th. Please get involved and speak to your legislators.
Thank you to our amazing supporters!
