APCI Calls for Passage of the Pharmacists Fight Back Act, Delivering Major Savings and Protections for Patients and Taxpayers
The Pharmacists Fight Back Act includes bipartisan support and mandates rebate sharing at the counter to reduce federal healthcare spending and patient costs.
- Dec. 11, 2025, Rep. Jake Auchincloss reintroduced the Pharmacists Fight Back Act, a two-bill package, at a Capitol Hill press conference, with American Pharmacy Cooperative, Inc. urging Congress to pass the bills.
- Framed as consumer-focused reform, the bills seek to lower drug costs and address PBM practices to improve transparency and savings, with support from 55 bipartisan cosponsors of the 2024 bill.
- Requiring direct-to-patient rebate sharing, the bills mandate PBMs share manufacturer rebates at the pharmacy counter and ban steering to PBM-owned pharmacies, restoring patient choice.
- The bills include robust oversight and penalties to prevent PBMs from sidestepping protections, safeguarding taxpayer investments in Medicare, Medicaid and the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program.
