Food Is Medicine is gaining momentum in combating diet-related chronic disease but pharmacists must be part of this initiative. The Milken Institute’s report on pharmacist-provided nutrition interventions presents a viable pathway for their engagement. Here are my thoughts on the issue. #Healthcare #FoodAsMedicine #FoodIsMedicine

National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) President and CEO Steven C. Anderson issued the following statement after the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) release today of an interim staff report on the harmful tactics of pharmacy benefit managers (PBM) - the pharmaceutical middlemen ⤵️ 💬: “The FTC’s initial findings in its study of PBM tactics provide further evidence of the dire need for action at the federal and state levels. According to the FTC, ‘the report finds that PBMs wield enormous power over patients’ ability to access and afford their prescription drugs, allowing PBMs to significantly influence what drugs are available and at what price.’ The FTC also describes PBM tactics as ‘imposing unfair, arbitrary, and harmful contractual terms’ on pharmacies’ with devastating effects on pharmacies and on communities. 💬: “It is now time for the U.S. Congress to move forward and enact the broad and bipartisan consensus reforms that are ready to go. These reforms would do much to confront devastating PBM tactics in Medicare, Medicaid, and the commercial markets – including the establishment of enforcement, oversight, and accountability. #PBMreform is must-pass legislation in the 118th Congress.
