I don't know how to fix it, but the way our healthcare system is structured is a travesty and we've got to find solutions.

PBMs are the devil. Optum, CVS, ESI, all of them.

We have had some recent dealings with United Healthcare in dealing With my 97 year old mother in law. All I can say is that they are a bunch of ………………. Criminals. I hope they throw everyone of them in jail.

That’s a fact. They should be outlawed today. Any politician that supports a PBM should be voted out immediately and investigated because they are in no way a benefit to the public.

Some states are telling PBMs that they can't also be pharmacies, like Arkansas, for example. This is a big reason why you're seeing CVS brick and mortar pharmacies close.

Healthcare is not a free market and hasn't been for decades.

I wonder how other Western developed countries have approached this problem...

I honestly have no faith in the free market or the government to figure it out. Too much corruption throughout it all.
