Unfortunately, they have ignored a key cost driver: Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs). PBMs such as CVS Caremark, Express Scripts and OptumRx “manage” prescription drug benefits on behalf of insurers and siphon off enormous revenues in the complex non-transparent system that gets drugs from manufacturers to patients. Other states are doing a much better job monitoring and controlling PBMs and have saved consumers and tax payers hundreds of millions of dollars. Rhode Island should follow their lead. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/investigate-and-control-pbms
