Reuters article about it

Nah, you really gotta read the article. They’re gonna force insurance companies to separate from the stupid mandatory specialty pharmacies that they own that they force anyone insured who needs a “specialty medication” to use. I used to be able to get my specialty medication at the regular fucking pharmacy, and so did everyone else before they started up this nonsense. They cost more, and I’ve never had one that didn’t fuck me over every single year when I have to redo my prior authorization. Like I have to get every specialty prescription filled in advance, even if I don’t necessarily need it right now, to have a stockpile of 2-3 months of medication in case they fuck it up again and I lose that buffer. Most people don’t have that buffer. Caremark, Express Scripts, Optum, and there so many more. Call your fucking congressperson and tell them to support this legislation. PLEASE.
