I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude and enthusiastic support for your leadership in marking up the Modernizing and Ensuring PBM Accountability (MEPA) Act. As an organization created to enhance Hispanic older adults\u2019 quality of life, the National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA), is deeply invested in the welfare of our seniors, and our healthcare system. I commend you for taking this significant step towards improving the pharmaceutical industry &#8212; by disclosing behind-the-scenes practices &#8212; as well as the lives of millions of Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">The rising costs of prescription drugs and the complexities of the pharmacy benefit manager (PBM) industry have been major concerns for patients and healthcare providers across the nation. Your dedication to addressing these issues through Committee action on this legislation demonstrates your commitment to the well-being of your constituents and the American people as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">And while we wholeheartedly support the enhanced transparency and new reporting requirements for PBMs, we strongly believe that seniors would also greatly benefit from rebate reform. Many Hispanic older adults struggle to afford the medicines that they need, even as PBMs in Part D receive significant rebates from drug manufacturers. Behind-the-scenes practices and misaligned incentives significantly drive-up out-of-pocket costs for our seniors. We hope that rebate reform is included in a final version of this legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Thank you for your leadership on this important issue for our seniors. I firmly believe that this legislation has the potential to bring about positive and lasting changes to our healthcare landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">If there is any way I can support this legislation or assist in advocating for its passage, please do not hesitate to reach out. Together, we can create a brighter and healthier future for all Americans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">With sincerest gratitude,<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong>Yanira Cruz, DrPH, MPH <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\"><strong>President &amp; CEO<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>National Hispanic Council on Aging 22012 12th St., NWSuite 101Washington, DC 20009 July 25, 2023 The Honorable Ron Wyden (D-OR)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Honorable Mike Crapo (R-ID) Chairman&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Ranking Member U.S. Senate Committee on Finance&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; U.S. Senate Committee on Finance 219 Dirksen Senate Office Building&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 219 Dirksen Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Chairman [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"off","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-press-releases"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
