"It's time to bust up the PBM monopoly, which has been stealing hope and health from patients for decades. As a pharmacist, I've seen how PBMs abuse patients firsthand, and believe that the cure to this infectious disease is transparency, competition, and accountability, which is exactly what our bipartisan package provides."

The budget bill passed by the US House of Representatives last week reduces Medicaid expenditures by $1.4 trillion over 10 years, disproportionately affecting the Latine community.

"I'm planning to take my sweet time," the minority leader said, as other representatives showed signs of exhaustion.

"Our goal with Medicaid is not to cut it, but to limit its growth; we have a clear plan to cap its increases over the next few years."
