On Nov. 11, NCPA joined a broad coalition of health care groups and business organizations calling for enactment of comprehensive federal PBM reform by the end of the year. The diverse list of 115 groups includes champions for PBM reform such as the PBM Accountability Project and American Economic Liberties Project, employer and business groups like the National Association of Manufacturers and ERISA Industry Coalition, and health care provider groups including the Coalition of State Rheumatology Organizations and the Community Oncology Alliance.
The letter noted, "These policies have broad bipartisan support and reflect the needs of both employers and patients. Every day without action is a day in which Americans are forced to make impossible choices — between their health and their financial stability. These changes are imperative to ensure a free market operates as intended, without steering plans and patients toward higher-priced medications and making health care unaffordable. We firmly believe that congressional action is necessary to correct the dysfunction present in the marketplace. We urge Congress to seize this opportunity to enact overdue PBM reform that restores fairness, transparency, and access to our health care system for millions of Americans."
