The manufacturers aren't the big problem Bill. They could sell brand meds for far far less, and in some cases lower than other countries TODAY , IF you take the big PBMs out of the middle. And YOU are part of the problem Bill I'll bet you signed a pharmacy benefits deal with a big PBM? Tomorrow , call them and ask for a list of your claims, and the net drug price paid for each. Ask them for a net price list, after rebates that you can verify. Ask them if you can talk to say Lilly to discuss a GLP1 Wellness program. Ask them why they under reimburse pharmacies for less than their cost to help YOUR employees Let me know how long they laugh at you The issue is that CEOs have NO CLUE about their pharmacy or healthcare benefits. So they work with the PBMs that cause this mess, assuming their consultants are doing the right thing for them You enable the problem by working with those PBMs Bill . And of course its not just you. It's almost every big company CEO This EO can have a huge impact. But it has to be built around transparency and removing the middlemen
