SUPPORT I am writing in support of this bill as a Virginia-based hospital pharmacist with 14 years of experience. Pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) are making it more difficult for patients to receive life-saving medications for their own profit. This bill would allow patients to choose where they could receive their important medications, whether it be at their physician's office, in a medication infusion center, or from their PBM's specialty pharmacy. Right now PBMs dictate where patients may receive their medications. In a state that protects an individual's right to choose where they get their car fixed following a collision, I feel we should extend the same protection to patients who are receiving infusion medications.

Please let me know about anything to do with ANY SOLAR or wind. Also why aren't you working on lowering this socialism health obamare that is failing! We pay double our house payment for healthcare. They do a certain percentage of what u make a year. I have to take money out of my 401k for healthcare that counts as income. It shouldn't count as income when you are taxing the heck out of us. We can't travel,most our prescriptions we use to take won't be covered and could go on and on about this robbery of people s hard earned money!
