Hi,

Senator Elizabeth Warren is pushing a bipartisan bill that would break up
giant health care corporations like UnitedHealth and CVS.

If passed, the Patients Before Monopolies Act would force big health
corporations to each sell their respective pharmacies within three years.
That would put an end to corporate inflation of medication prices at
pharmacies.^1

It’s a clear win for consumers and patients, and we need to build the
bipartisan support behind this bill.

Senator Warren is targeting pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) — companies
hired by employers and government programs to oversee their prescription
drug benefits. CVS Health’s Caremark, Cigna’s Express Scripts and
UnitedHealth’s Optum Rx are the three largest PBMs, collectively
controlling 80 percent of prescriptions in the United States.^2

“PBMs have manipulated the market to enrich themselves — hiking up drug
costs, cheating employers and driving small pharmacies out of business,”
Senator Warren said in a statement.^3

We can’t allow these massive corporations to continue using their size and
power to control the market, raise prescription prices, force smaller
pharmacies to go out of business, and put their profits above people’s
health.
