Since 2021, Congressman Comer has spearheaded a House Oversight Committee investigation that has uncovered how PBMs abuse their position as middlemen, keeping rebates and fees for themselves, undermining community pharmacists, and pushing higher drug costs onto patients at the pharmacy counter. “Congress is putting Pharmacy Benefit Managers on notice: their era of taking advantage of Americans is ending. PBMs have abused their role as middlemen, keeping rebates and fees for themselves, weakening our community pharmacists, and pushing costs onto patients at the pharmacy counter. We have a responsibility to act and that's why I am proud to introduce the bipartisan Pharmacists Fight Back Act. This legislation takes meaningful steps to protect patients and our Kentucky pharmacists, ensuring they can access and provide affordable, life-saving medications to all without PBM interference. I look forward to working with my colleagues and our local pharmacists to get this legislation to the President’s desk,” said Congressman Comer. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:09:11Z |
