There's three major PBMs, CVS Caremark, Express Scripts and Optum RX. These three companies make on average approximately three bucks in operating profit per prescription claim processed. They make money in markups.

So there's a lot of other organizations in this value chain that kind of eat out of that dollar before it gets to the sense that goes to pharma. And so it's important to make sure we don't overlook those. The biggest ones being the PBMs.

And by working, by requiring transparency in all contracts, signed by anybody anywhere in terms of pricing, you are going to see the same impact on across-the-board pricing of a decrease of 30-40 percent. And so all that is going to reduce out-of-pocket spending for everybody, reduce government spending for everybody, and have a net positive impact.

So to your point, Sacks, the FTC has been worried that what Friedberg said has been happening, but the real sort of middlemen manipulator in this market are the pharmacy benefit managers. And so this week, she actually issued compulsory orders to the PBMs and said, turn over all your business records to me. I'm going to look into them. That makes a ton of sense.
