It's time to hold UnitedHealth Group accountable not just for cybersecurity lapses but also for the financial harm inflicted on patients by PBMs. Congress must act to bring transparency to drug pricing. buff.ly/4dfLwpK

As long as PBMs are financially incentivized to push patients toward the most expensive treatments, savings won’t fully materialize. Lawmakers should ensure that PBMs can’t manipulate the drug market to the detriment of patients and their employers. buff.ly/44ex3Ge
