WASHINGTON — Yesterday, President Trump took decisive action to rein in Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and lower prescription drug prices. Congresswoman Harshbarger has led and supported numerous bills during her tenure in Congress to achieve similar goals in statute, including the following:
- Patients Before Monopolies (PBM) Act
- Saving Seniors Money on Prescriptions Act
- PBM Sunshine and Accountability Act
- Promoting Transparency and Healthy Competition in Medicare Act
- Patient Right to Shop Act
Congresswoman Harshbarger issued the following statement.
“I’m extremely grateful to President Trump for taking this important step to rein in PBMs — the shadowy middlemen cartels of the pharmaceutical world that are driving up prescription drug costs and limiting patient choices.
“I’m proud to have led and supported a number of bills over the past four years to achieve similar goals — we need to build on President Trump’s leadership and get PBM reform done!”
