    As we tackle the soaring price of drugs, we're establishing a working group to examine how to safely import prescription drugs in the event of a dramatic price increase for a drug produced by one manufacturer and not protected by patents or exclusivities.https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2018/07/19/hhs-secretary-azar-directs-fda-establish-working-group-drug-importation-address-price-spikes.html …

        @SecAzar @POTUS I’d suggest you make this working group transparent. Who will be on it? I suggest no one with shares of pharma stock or former employees of pharma. We need independent Patients and Doctors and business people, regular Americans. No one invested in pharma.

        What about the oligopoly of insulin from your former company @LillyDiabetes and @Novartis @SanofiUS? Why does the govt allow price fixing and gouging of insulin. 21.00 a vial in 1996 - minimal changes - now 280 a vial average.

        @FennerMichelle 3/4 of the cost of insulin is from the legalized kickbacks ( they call them rebates) that PBMand GPO enjoy.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQhsPLcFwN8 …

        Cause they set the list price 🙄 (this would actually blatantly violate federal antitrust laws if PBMs were in any way involved in setting the list price). And for any of us to purport to know what PhRMA execs are thinking when they set list prices is ridiculous.

        So rather than solve the high cost of drugs problem in the US through negotiating on price or regulating, we will rely on other countries that solve high cost of drugs problem through negotiating on price or regulating.

        Will this "working group" include any of the patients who need #insulin4all to live and who you helped extort via exorbitant price increases during your time at Eli Lilly/ @LillyDiabetes? You helped make my dysfunctional pancreas a cash cow and I want a say.

        Prices wouldn’t be soaring if manufacturers didn’t have to raise prices in order to cover the rebates paid to PBMs in order to get their products on formulary. Limit power of 3 big PBMs and free market and 22K indies will fix drug prices and access

        They also need to do a better job of protecting the temperatures of drugs when shipping mail order and monitoring temperatures of a truck that is getting over 130 degrees in the back. Shipping drugs w/o an ice pack or anything to protect it from freezing. https://www.change.org/p/claire-mccaskill-ban-mail-order-drug-mandates-from-all-health-insurance-plans/u/23028618 …
