IT'S TIME TO AUDIT TRICARE!
We, The People, Demand an Independent Audit of Tricare Prescription Benefits.
Our military and their families deserve healthcare transparency. American taxpayers deserve to know how their dollars are being spent on prescription medications. It is inexcusable for TRICARE's pharmacy benefit manager to charge our military and their families hundreds of times more for generic medications than they could purchase without Tricare at a local pharmacy.
By calling for an independent audit of TRICARE we aim to:
-
Demand Transparency: Call for clear, public reporting on the factors contributing to the prescription drug pricing within the Tricare system, including detailed breakdowns of PBM fees, rebates, and administrative costs
-
Encourage Oversight: Advocate for federal agencies to regularly and independently audit PBM pricing practices to ensure competitive, fair pricing for generic medications
-
Protect Military Families: Ensure healthcare decisions - including the patient’s choice of pharmacy - are based on the patient’s best interest, not profit margins or self-dealing business arrangements
-
Safeguard Taxpayer Dollars: At a time when the federal government is seeking greater fiscal responsibility, ensure government healthcare contractors are acting as fiduciaries, using fair pricing practices and preserving access for service members, veterans and their families
This is not a partisan issue, it's an American healthcare issue. It’s time to uncover the truth and protect the care our veterans and active-duty families were promised.
