Just an angry dad from the Midwest fighting for my son’s memory & the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) reform that might have saved him. #EndthePBMafia

Taxpayers are getting ripped off. TRICARE pays way more for prescriptions through mail order—PBMs profit while troops go underfunded and taxpayers foot the bill. We all pay more and get less. Time for accountability. Learn more: AuditTricare.org @DeptofDefense
