PUTT applauds the introduction of the bipartisan Break Up Big Medicine Act (S.3822). This is a bold step toward restoring transparency, competition, and patient-centered care.

This legislation would prohibit a single corporate parent from owning medical providers, insurance companies, PBMs, or drug wholesalers, helping to end the dangerous consolidation that has put profits ahead of patients.

When one company controls every step of the healthcare supply chain, patients, taxpayers, and independent pharmacies pay the price. It's time to break up Big Medicine and put patients first.

BREAK UP BIG MEDICINE ACT

06/03/2026

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS TO URGE THEM TO PASS THIS ACT
There is no reason that the big 3 PBMs should be able to force patients to use their own pharmacies and then pay themselves more than independents or small chains.
No monopolies, no vertical integration - just good patient care the way it should be done

While PBM reforms that passed earlier this year will spur further changes in the way business is conducted, it’s anti-trust legislation that could have the most impact.

Good start, but not enough. So many states are ahead of us, with pharmacies closing every day here in PA.

We need to step on the gas and follow the lead of other states strict PBM reform (like Tennessee, Mississippi, or Ohio, to name a few)

Governor Shapiro’s pressure on PBMs and Act 77 reforms are causing PBMs to move away from spread pricing that hurts pharmacies.

Keep pushing on our representatives to pass these acts!

“The bottom line is simple: it cost more to run my pharmacy than I was paid to provide care. No business, no matter how dedicated, can survive under those conditions.”

Governor Shapiro, are you listening as pharmacies struggle and close their doors?

The commonwealth faces a pharmacy desert crisis as PBMs reimburse independent pharmacies below cost while pocketing millions through spread pricing. House Bill 2270 and Senate Bill 1186 offer solutions, but time is running out.
