I'd agree with that assessment. Given this: "The Hidden Fee Disclosure Act, HR 4508 , requires that providers give patients transparent cost data from price comparisons before providing treatment. The text of the bill explicitly addresses the role of pharmacy benefits managers, which play an integral role in the cost of prescription drugs." We've known the role PBM's play in a government-endorsed organized crime scheme that shamelessly adds cost to what consumers pay out-of-pocket without insurance or a prescription for at least a decade. Ask yourself, what is the point of insurance and prescriptions when I have access to deadly drugs like insulin OTC at Walmart without a prescription or insurance for $25 per bottle? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_von_B%C3%BClow https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claus_von_B%C3%BClow I pay less than $10 per box for a box of a hundred new, name-brand, Becton Dickson insulin needles on Amazon without a prescription. After this, Optum RX, United Healthcare's (UHC) wholly owned subsidiary PBM takes my doctor's 90 day script and charges me $40 for the same quantity. I'm pretty sure that's not what value-add means in business propositions. You don't need a degree in forensic accounting to figure this out. People laugh when I tell them I'm on a quest to reverse type 1 diabetes. Given insulin-dependence and its related costs accruing to technology, I don't know any better way to impact US healthcare.
