    Beneficiaries spent over $1.1 billion out-of-pocket in cost-sharing for brand drugs with comparable generics, averaging twice as much out-of-pocket than for comparable generics. We can and must do better for patients. Learn more: https://go.usa.gov/xUUVv https://twitter.com/SeemaCMS/status/1021488130195644416 …

    Administrator Seema VermaVerified account @SeemaCMS
    On it, Mr. Secretary. We’ve looked into it—generic competition has generated significant savings for Part D & its beneficiaries. You're right that there is more to do. Misaligned incentives & beneficiaries lacking info on generic substitution leave significant savings uncaptured. https://twitter.com/SecAzar/status/1021486824986959873 …

        @SecAzar, can you please address the lack of generic insulins available for people with Type 1 diabetes? When will the patten game end so insulin generics can come to market? Or even better, just release the cure. Thank you.

        Love that you are working toward transparency! BUT the OOP costs are still 100 to 300% markup from the cost based on the cash prices I have paid for my generic meds on this list, as an RPH myself, I know to ask....imagine the savings. Why not use cost plus formulas like part B?
