ASCO shared a post by Senate Judiciary Democrats on X, adding:
“‘Timing, coordination, and expertise in cancer care are not optional. They are lifesaving. …PBM-owned pharmacies often lack oncology expertise and real-time communication with clinicians, putting patients at risk’ ASCO Advocacy member Sheetal M. Kircher in Senate Judiciary hearing on PBMs.”
Quoting Senate Judiciary Democrats‘s post:
“WOW. Watch this medical oncologist talk about her patient… a 46-year-old math teacher, the kind who you’d want teaching your kids. Time was critical to treat his cancer… but a pharmacy benefit manager delayed his care. ‘This is what we’re up against.'”
