🤬Express Scripts is sending cease & desist letters to pharmacists for calling out unethical acts on Twitter. It's time to get louder as they're destroying pharmaceutical care, forcing patients to bake meds or risk delays as the only coverage option @DGlaucomflecken@linakhanFTC
Express Scripts uses billions of $ to monopolize the industry. They buy lobbyists to ensure that legislators don't hear the cries of patients & pharmacists. Their attempts to silence will not work. This fight to save pharmacy is to save lives. Silence isn't an option. @BedoyaFTC
What is Express Scripts going to do? Take away $$ that pharmacists have worked hard for? They're doing that already. After starting Twitter & uncovering daily fraud w mail order, I learned a lot from #RxTwitter. Some pharmacists have now closed their doors due to Express Sxripts
Throughout the pandemic, we've learned the importance of local pharmacy access to public health. Pharmacy deserts are ⬆️ in some of the most underserved areas in our nation. The purposeful negative reimbursements from Express Scripts. must be stopped. axios.com/2021/01/07/pha…
& #mailorderpharmacy isn't a substitute for local pharmacy #Meds are delayed with mail order & a study by Southwestern Oklahoma State University showed 80% of packages are left in unsafe temperatures by FDA. FDA doesn't regulate mail order @linakhanFTC@BedoyaFTC@RKSlaughterFTC
There is a reason Express Scripts won't use a temperature sensor that cost a few pennies on all meds. The fraud of mailing meds in extreme and unsafe temperatures would be fully exposed. @FTC@FBI@OIGatHHS@linakhanFTC@BedoyaFTC@nabp@TheJusticeDept
I'm probably going to help my legislators by even mentioning them here as Express Scripts may offer them more $$ for their campaigns to not to hear me but @JasonSmithMO@HawleyMO we need you to save pharmacy access. Please. Take their money if you must, but do the right thing.
