Today in Des Moines, the House Government Oversight Committee held a hearing looking into PBMs and the high prescription drugs. Several pharmacies and a national PBM were requested to appear. Our own Randy McDonough was one of those asked to speak.
You can view the committee meeting on Facebook (search for JohnForbes4Iowa). The direct link to the video, which does not require login to Facebook, is available here.
What is interesting to me are the items the the PBM avoided answering. Their silence speaks volumes. Perhaps they would rather not address some things and hope people forget the questions. Now is the time to rally other states and our federal legislators as well. Pharmacists provide care. We need to fight to be paid for that care.
