voteinorout on Instagram: "The #AffordableCareAct was supposed to make sure insurance dollars go to care, but insurers found a loophole, raising new questions about #Healthcare costs and #BigPharma influence in the #News cycle. The ACA’s Medical Loss Ratio rule requires insurers to spend about 80 to 85 percent of premiums on patient care or issue rebates. Critics say companies sidestep this by vertically integrating, owning pharmacies, doctors, and pharmacy benefit managers, then counting internal payments as “care.” Roughly 80 percent of U.S. prescriptions are controlled by three PBMs, all tied to major insurers. The argument is that this structure drives higher costs while technically complying with the law, shifting debate over whether repealing the ACA would address or worsen the problem. — #datingadvice @aoc Follow @waltermasterson for more.
