Hell has not frozen over, and death and taxes still exist, but Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., have joined to introduce a pharmacy benefit manager control legislation, the Patients Before Monopolies Act bill.
The bill also has bipartisan support in the House, with Reps. Diana Harshbarger, R-Tenn., and Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass., introducing the legislation in that chamber.
The bill would prohibit any person from owning a pharmacy and an insurance company at the same time or from owning a pharmacy benefit manager and a pharmacy at the same time.
The top targets of the bill are Cigna's Express Scripts business, CVS Health's Caremark and and UnitedHealth's OptumRx.
