As your constituent, I write to request your support for the Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency Act of 2025 (S.526), a critical bipartisan bill that represents a vital step towards addressing the opaque practices of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and ensuring a more equitable and affordable prescription drug market for all Americans. For too long, the intricate and often hidden operations of PBMs have contributed to rising prescription drug costs, created unfair conditions for independent pharmacies, and made it exceedingly difficult for consumers and regulators to understand the true drivers of drug spending. PBMs, acting as intermediaries between drug manufacturers, insurers, and pharmacies, wield significant influence over drug prices, formulary design, and patient access, yet their financial practices have largely remained shrouded in secrecy. The Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency Act of 2025 directly confronts these challenges by mandating crucial transparency and accountability measures. The passage of this bill is essential for fostering a more competitive and transparent pharmaceutical supply chain. It will help lower out-of-pocket costs for patients, support the viability of community pharmacies, and ultimately contribute to a more sustainable healthcare system. Americans are navigating tough economic times and are making difficult decisions to get by. They should not have to face the decision of forgoing lifesaving medications due to the cost for influences outside of their control. Thank you for your consideration. I hope this legislation becomes law to improve access to critical medication and make health care more accessible and affordable for all Americans.

As your constituent, I am writing to urge your support for the Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency Act of 2025 (S.526), a crucial bipartisan bill that takes important steps toward exposing the hidden practices of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and creating a fairer, more affordable prescription drug market for all Americans. For too long, the complex and often concealed actions of PBMs have contributed to rising drug costs, placed independent pharmacies at a disadvantage, and made it hard for consumers and regulators to understand what truly drives prescription prices. PBMs play a powerful role in setting drug prices and determining which medications are covered, yet their operations remain largely hidden from public view. This bill addresses those concerns by requiring greater transparency and accountability. Passing this legislation is key to building a more open and competitive pharmaceutical supply chain. It can help reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients, support the survival of community pharmacies, and move us toward a more sustainable healthcare system overall. Americans are already facing financial pressures and shouldn’t be forced to choose between basic needs and life-saving medications. We need fair policies that put patients first—not hidden profits. Thank you for your attention to this issue. I strongly encourage you to support this bill and help ensure that all Americans have access to the medications they need at prices they can afford.

As your constituent, I am requesting your support for the Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency Act of 2025 (S.526). This bipartisan bill is an important step toward fixing the hidden and unfair practices of Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) and making prescription drugs more affordable and fair for all Americans. For years, PBMs have operated behind the scenes, making decisions that affect drug prices, insurance coverage, and patient access to medicine. Their actions have helped drive up costs, hurt small local pharmacies, and made it hard for people to understand why medicine is so expensive. This bill would require PBMs to be more open and honest about how they do business. Passing this law would help lower costs for patients, protect community pharmacies, and improve our healthcare system overall. Right now, many Americans are struggling financially and shouldn’t have to choose between paying for medicine or other basic needs. We need laws that make healthcare more affordable and easier to access. Thank you for considering this important issue. I hope you will support this bill to help make prescription drugs more affordable and accessible for everyone.
