"Why, in the richest country on Earth, do 1.3 million Americans ration insulin because of the cost? Why are 1 out of 4 Americans not able to afford the prescription drugs their doctors prescribe?" asked Senator Bernie Sanders, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee.
The drugmaker CEOs said, in the Reuters report, that the companies pay rebates to lower costs but that PBMs and insurers are incentivized to choose drugs with higher prices because they lead to larger rebates.
"Higher list prices allow for higher fees and rebates, which can increase patients out of pocket costs while benefiting employers, insurance companies and people who don't use medicines," Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks said.
PBM executives said manufacturers alone set the drug prices and abuse patent protections to stifle competition. Drug costs would be even higher without the rebates that PBMs negotiate for their customers, Optum Rx CEO Heather Cianfrocco said.
