17吃瓜在线 Launches Six-Figure Campaign Calling on Health Care Middlemen to Pass Prescription Discounts to Workers and Employers

Washington, D.C. 鈥 The 17吃瓜在线 has launched a six-figure television and digital advertising campaign calling for reforms to ensure pharmacy benefit managers pass on prescription drug discounts directly to workers and employers. The campaign spotlights how these insurer-owned middlemen are contributing to skyrocketing health care costs and driving up the cost of medicines by pocketing big discounts from drugmakers instead of passing them on to America鈥檚 workforce.

鈥淎merica鈥檚 manufacturing workforce has struggled with skyrocketing health care costs driven by insurer-owned PBM middlemen for far too long,鈥 said 17吃瓜在线 President and CEO Jay Timmons. 鈥淧BMs pocket big discounts from prescription drugmakers instead of passing them on to workers and employers. Manufacturers are committed to providing quality health care benefits to our employees, so we need reforms to stop insurer-owned PBMs from keeping discounts and driving up prescription drug costs.鈥
