  • "Certain pharmacy benefit manager practices continue to jeopardize the viability and financial stability of pharmacies, forcing far too many to close up shop," said Sen. Crapo.
  • In the letter, Senators Wyden and Crapo emphasized that PBM reform must be a policy priority citing the impact of PBM practices on seniors, families and health providers.
