Did you know PUTT operates on an annual budget that’s less than most executive salaries? We pride ourselves on being fiscally responsible with our donors’ funding - including paying close attention to operational costs - which is why we’ve switched our donation platform to Givebutter. Givebutter is a nonprofit platform that allows greater control over our donors’ information, charges less money, and is more flexible in general. No matter if you’re a current or past donor, or a new advocate fighting for the cause, setting up your donation information in our new system is simple!

As tens of thousands of Americans overdosed and died from prescription painkillers, the middlemen collected billions of dollars in payments. Read more on how drugmakers including Purdue Pharma paid #PBMs to not restrict painkiller prescriptions at https://nyti.ms/3C2FsD7

"To suggest PBMs are working to keep costs down for patients is patently false. You don’t even have to take my word for it: The Federal Trade Commission released an interim report this summer detailing how the big three PBMs — Optum, CVS, and ExpressScripts — were artificially inflating prescription-drug costs." Read more on how prescription middlemen DON'T keep costs down in the article below. If you're ready to help us in the fight against #PBMs, contact us today! https://bit.ly/3C69UMG
