Please read our letter about @VertexPharma's decision to drastically cut copayment assistance. Changing the copay assistance program is akin to denying access to CFTR modulators and will lead to the deterioration of health in people with @cysticfibrosis

onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/author/D…
@VertexPharma does not have to drastically decrease copayment assistance, yet they choose to. @Cigna @BCBSM Insurance companies do not have to include copayment accumulators, yet they choose to.
@VertexPharma does not have to charge over $300,000 annually for its @cysticfibrosis drugs, yet they choose to.
Vertex and insurance companies choose to put their record-breaking billions of dollars in profits over the lives of people with #cysticfibrosis, and they must be held to account for policies that threaten to bankrupt the very people they claim to want to help live longer lives
@VertexSaveUs @icer_review @P4AD_ @P4ADNOW
CFTR modulators have transformed CF but are some of the most expensive medications on the market
and are over-priced compared to the value given. Vertex continues to put profits above the lives of people with #cysticfibrosis
@ewarren @BernieSanders @SpeakerPelosi @katieporteroc The battle for billions between pharmaceutical and insurance companies threatens the lives of people with cystic fibrosis. Please read our letter & let's make changes. Ban copay accumulators & cap pharmaceutical greed
