Can't figure out Mark Cuban's fixation with PBMs when there are other culprits that need to be addressed in our broken healthcare system. The foremost of these are the drug manufacturers and yet Cuban and others continue to point to the system's middlemen.

This take is worth considering. We need to understand it because first of all, PBMs do not determine the price list of prescription drugs. That's the responsibility of drug manufacturers and we aren't sure how changing PBMs are paid can affect total drug spending.

Still struggling to understand why PBMs are always being dragged as one of the main offenders in what's wrong with the healthcare system. It's as clear as day that the practices of drug manufacturers are what's causing real harm, to patients as well as small independent pharmacies.

Does Mark Cuban's involvement add to TrumpRx and legitimize it more in the eyes of the public? Or does it distract from it somewhat? To ordinary citizens, it probably doesn't matter as much as long as the platform performs its intended duty and benefits patients.

Interesting, indeed. Now let's see if they can really make Big Pharma accountable. The American people have had enough of promises and grandstanding, what we need are results. And this should lead to things like lower drug prices, improved transparency, etc.
