    Glad to see @Aetna lowering drug costs for patients and families. #Transparency is key to lowering healthcare costs and putting Americans in charge of their own care.

        @Aetna just hit me with a $266 DIR fee on a drug that cost $298 2 months AFTER dispensing the med. You want to lower patient’s price, get the Corps that do nothing but soak up most of our money. #BehindtheRxCurtain

        There won't be any #transparency if you let $CVS merge with @Aetna. Just more of the same that is going on in Arkansas, Ohio, and every other state. @TruthRX

        With all do respect sec. Azar but #Transparency starts by asking @Aetna to show exactly what are they paying provider vs. what they r billing insurers and @MedicareGov @MedicaidGov . U are an insider and u know their gimmicks, but now u r supposed to serve us, not them

        You oversaw a 300% increase in the cost of insulin as President of Eli Lily & Co. You made a fortune profiteering off of the sick and dying. You represent the worst of society and are not qualified to be HHS Secretary. Shame on you.

        Yesterday @Cigna thought it was a great idea for the TOTAL reimbursement to be $6 for a drug that cost $240. #Transparency ? Your putting the crooks in charge of the bank. Decisions like this make me think your part of the swamp needs draining.. #BehindtheRxCurtain

        If you really wanted #Transparency , you would put a Pharmacist in charge. We know the #pbmmafia tricks.

        What are you doing about Big Insurance buying up healthcare services, including CVS, and Kindred? Would it be ok for bankers to run the SEC?

        Why don't we BAN rebates? What are we selling here? Last year's Oldsmobile's, that we need some kind of "rebate"? (PS! I KNOW it's just a way for Insurers to get around the pesky "80% Rule" of the ACA !)

        Speaking of transparency, how come CVS doesn’t list the cost of a drug vs the amount we pay on insurance? Everyone used to do this. Did someone kill a regulation?

        We don’t need Insurance companies to drive the costs of healthcare in America...they only care about their shareholders. We need Physicians to be responsible for healthcare in the US. We need Preventative care centers all across the country. http://www.afibhai.com/apcc
