It’s time to turn up the volume and make our voices heard — because we are the champions for our patients and our profession. 💪 |
Here’s how you can help right now.
We are working to schedule pharmacy visits with every legislator across the state before Thanksgiving. Please call your senator and representative to set up an appointment to discuss PBM Reform at your pharmacy. Let us know when your meeting will take place and we'll get you the tools you need for these important conversations. Click here to find contact information for your legislators.
Legislators are asking that transparency is the key issue when it comes to PBM reform. We couldn’t agree more. Our PBM reform bill will shine a light on PBM practices and reign in some of their worst abuses that are causing Kansas pharmacies to close.
🤝 Sign up you and your coworkers to Adopt a Legislator to take part in upcoming legislator pharmacy visits.
📤 Ask at least 3 other Kansas pharmacies you know to sign up too (forward this email)
❓ Worried about meeting with a legislator? Don’t be! We’ll be sending resources to help. Send us any questions or concerns you have and we’ll help you feel prepared. |
Here’s what happened last week:
- Mike Burns' Sept. 28 testimony before the Interim Committee on Pharmaceutical Sciences was featured in an article from The Beacon, highlighting efforts of pharmacists in Kansas and Missouri to reduce drug prices and fight for PBM reform.
- First draft of PBM Reform Bill continues to be shared with key stakeholders through meetings with local lawmakers
This week's to-do list:
🎤 Call your senator and representative and schedule a meeting at your pharmacy to discuss PBM Reform
📤 Let us know when you have scheduled your meeting and we will provide information on the PBM Reform bill and talking points for discussion
❓ Worried about meeting with a legislator? Don’t be! Send us any questions or concerns you have and we’ll help you feel prepared.
