Why No Discounts For ALL Americans?

A new bill would make prescription drugs cheaper for those covered by the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. Rep. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) introduced the bill. It would change contracting requirements for prescription drugs. Right now, FEHBP is planning to contract with pharmacy benefit managers. They will act as middlemen to negotiate prices with drug companies. The new law gives the Office of Personnel Management more oversight over pharmacy managers. They'll have to return any rebates or discounts back to FEHBP. The National Treasury Employees Union said it supports Lynch's bill.
