Patients and rheumatological healthcare professionals from 26 states will be advocating for our healthcare care priorities on the hills tomorrow. @cdowneymd @ACRheumDC@karleen_su@SoCa_Rheum_Soc#act4arthritis
Thanks @ChrisBDalton from the office of @RepGregLandsman for meeting with us this morning! We appreciate the support for vital research funding for children’s hospitals and opposing Medicaid cuts that threaten kids’ care. #Act4Arthritis@PRheumdoc@ambarro
📢Our patient group is ready to go! Tomorrow they will hit Captitol Hill with some of our members to advocate for our policy priorities. 💪#Act4Arthritis@ACRheum
@MilaKastsianok I'm so happy we were able to meet at #Act4Arthritis. It's always nice when RhMSUS Oversight Committee members can meet up at ACR events @ACRheumDC
Our members and patients are engaged and learning about the issues we will take to the Hill tomorrow. Thank you Christina Downey and Lennie Shewmaker-McDaniel for leading this informative session! #Act4Arthritis@ACRheum
Very excited to represent @ACRheum on Capital Hill today asking our reps to support PBM transparency, NIH funding, and reverse cuts to Medicare! Here with Michael from Senator Husted’s office and @PRheumdoc@ambarro & Dr. Hermine Brunner #Act4Arthritis
Nothing more confusing than PBMs:
💰3 companies: 80% of market
💰 Intermediaries who set prices, pocketing rebates w/o transferring savings to the pts
🔦🔦Need transparency!
