If they are already giving insulin to everyone at $35, why don't they just provide it at every pharmacy counter across America for $35? 🤔 Pay the pharmacists a fair dispensing fee that is the same across all pharmacies. Access + Affordability issues solved. We can all be 😀
Would it be a problem for brand name drug manufacturers to cut out the middlemen? If so, why?
I know it's complicated right? What are brand manufacturers doing to help both patients and independent/hospital pharmacies survive?
Access is as critical as affordability.

🤬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
