Unmasking the PBMs: How They Are Ripping Off Your Prescription Costs

Big Pharma and their greedy middlemen are robbing hardworking Americans blind. Pharmacy Benefit Managers, or PBMs, are the invisible crooks driving up your prescription drug costs. These corporate parasites sit between you and your medicine, skimming profits off your pain.

Three giant PBMs control 80 percent of all prescription drugs in America. CVS Caremark, Express Scripts, and OptumRx have created a rigged system that puts profits over patients. They decide what drugs you can get, where you can buy them, and how much you pay.

Here’s how these vultures steal your money. They charge your employer sky-high prices for drugs, then pay pharmacies dirt cheap rates. The difference goes straight into their fat pockets through something called spread pricing. It’s legal theft, plain and simple.

Drug companies have to pay huge kickbacks to these PBMs just to get their medicines covered. To afford these bribes, they jack up prices on sick Americans. The PBMs then push whatever drug makes them the most money, not what’s best for you.

Want proof this system is corrupt? Ozempic costs $1,500 here but only $147 in Canada. Other countries don’t even have PBMs because they know it’s a scam. Only in America do we let corporate middlemen get rich off human suffering.

These same PBMs own the insurance companies and pharmacies too. It’s like letting the fox guard the henhouse, count the chickens, and sell the eggs. They control every step and profit from each one while you get fleeced.

The swamp creatures in Washington refuse to stop this highway robbery. Both parties take money from these healthcare monopolies while regular Americans choose between medicine and groceries. It’s time to drain this particular swamp once and for all.

Every family paying outrageous drug prices should know who’s really to blame. It’s not just Big Pharma – it’s these bloodsucking middlemen who’ve turned healthcare into their personal ATM machine. Enough is enough.
