Here It Comes

Your access to drug choices could be limited, depending on what the Congressional supercommittee decides, GovExec reports. The deficit reduction super committee is looking at changes to the way pharmacy benefits are negotiated for feds. The proposal would allow the Office of Personnel Management to negotiate prices for all drug program participants. OPM would work with a single pharmacy benefit manager. The administration says it could save $1.6 billion dollars over 10 years. The idea is part of President Obama's cost cutting package that he unveiled last month.
