Quote of the Day
“I would like to stand on the highest mountain in Montana, and shout price-by-price, rip-off by rip-off, the shenanigans here showing how much more the American consumer is paying.”
— Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer, referring to a 112-page spreadsheet detailing the federal discounts allowed for more than 5,000 drugs.
Three cheers.
It should not take 112 pages to itemize the price the federal government pays for 5,000 different drugs. I seriously doubt PBMs have such documents.
Give ’em hell Brian.
Right on Brian.
