Thank you for addressing the unregulated and self serve PBMs, which are making greedy profits at expensive of patient health, insurers, and provider’s service just a few to name. Regulate PBM.

I’m an entrepreneur, and past retail/LTC PharmD RPh who is passionate about our profession. I am eager to learn and get involved to see how we can evolve our profession and fight those who penetrated our profession just to make profits and hinder our impact as a vital part of the healthcare system. Let me know how I can help and be involved.
