If this is like some other #FarmBureau health plans (i.e., a #MEWA) then it IS subject to regulation. Just not STATE regulation. #AssociationPlans #ERISA https://buff.ly/4hLbuTz

If #Texas finds a way to regulate #PBM interactions with #SelfFunded employer #HealthInsurance, that could lead to a wide range of health care provider groups trying to adopt a similar strategy. #ERISA #Legislation https://buff.ly/4gHuEsk

The #Texas #PBM laws should escape #ERISA preemption because the laws do not refer to ERISA plans, dictate ERISA plan choices or add requirements to ERISA plan beneficiary status. #AttorneyGeneral #opinion #Rx https://buff.ly/3EBx7am

The judge said #AmericanAirlines had breached its legal duty to make investment decisions based solely on the financial interests of #401k plan beneficiaries. #ERISA #fiduciary https://buff.ly/4ayuFO1

I am once again reminding people can some poorly-written obscure pages of legislation allows insurance companies to deny claims with total impunity

The big #PBM say their buying power and exclusive access to information enable them to save money for stakeholders. Critics say they are skimming from the drug market, perhaps $100 billion a year. #ERISA #lawsuits #EmployerPlans #FiduciaryDuty https://buff.ly/4gK29L7

I beg of you: scrutinize the system that calls itself “healthcare.”

Question every assumption about why a pill costs hundreds of dollars, why a specialist is out of reach, or why an insurance claim can be denied with impunity.

RFK will institute #KbCCare.

The fact that there's a #liability shield for #ERISA plan providers that doesn't exist for actual doctors and medical practices should astound your fucking mind
