PBMs that run Medicare drug benefits would have to report much more about prices, rebates, fees, and their own earnings. Medicare plans could audit them every year. The bill starts with plan years on or after January 1, 2028, but it does not directly cut what seniors pay at the pharmacy.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects PBMs, Medicare drug plans, and people in Medicare drug coverage. PBMs would have the biggest new workload because they would need to track, explain, and turn over much more data. Medicare plan sponsors could gain more power to check PBM performance. People with Medicare could be affected later if plans use this information to change benefits, pharmacy networks, or contracts.
Why this matters: This bill matters because Medicare drug spending can be shaped by deals and fees that are hard to see from the outside. It would force more of that information into the open for Medicare plans and federal officials. That could make it easier to spot where money goes, where cheaper drugs are passed over, and whether PBMs follow their contracts. Still, the bill stops at transparency. Any direct savings for patients would depend on what plans, regulators, or Congress do next.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
