Americas Agenda: Health Care for All, has worked to advance our mission to assure affordable health care for all Americans in initiatives in a half dozen states over the course of 202. Here, we highlight our work in three states: Colorado, Minnesota, and Ohio. AAHCA advised and supported the efforts in each of these states to educate the public and policy makers about drivers of prescription drug cost increases the fastest growing component of overall health cost increases with the objective of achieving prescription drug savings for state governments, taxpayers, and both public and private sector employment-based health plans. In each of these state efforts, in AAHCA built on the success of our policy initiative in New Jersey, where implementation of the Americas Agenda-designed public policy strategy for creating a dynamically competitive marketplace for pharmacy benefit managers captured $2.52 billion in prescription drug savings over 5 years for state taxpayers and the New Jersey State Employees Health Plan. Our efforts achieved significant advances toward our goal of significant and sustainable reduction in cost of prescription drugs. The following are highlights of our accomplishments in these three states over the course of 2022: In Minnesota, AAHCA organizing and support of a broad coalition of state businesses, labor unions, patient advocates, independent pharmacists, and other stakeholders overcame entrenched opposition to effective implementation of SF 2178, which was enacted with extensive Americas Agenda support the preceding year. The statutory reform has transformed the way pharmacy benefit manager contract proposals are evaluated and pharmacy benefit management services are procured. Americas Agenda provided technical assistance to state legislators on a joint Senate/House oversight committee with responsibility for overseeing the reverse auction process for procurement of prescription drug services for approximately 200,000 state and local government employees and dependents. The outcome of the Americas Agenda-designed initiative was state savings of approximately $65 million per year in spending of state taxpayer funds for public employee prescription drug benefits.In Colorado, AAHCA organizing and support of a broad coalition of labor unions, patient advocates, and other stakeholders overcame a number of obstacles to effective implementation posed by entrenched opponents of the Competitive Pharmacy Benefits Manager Marketplace Act, which was enacted with extensive Americas Agenda support the preceding year. The Colorado statutory reform has transformed the way pharmacy benefit manager contract proposals are evaluated and pharmacy benefit management services are procured in the state. Americas Agenda advocated successfully for direct participation in pharmacy benefit services by representatives of state employees who stand to benefit, along with tax payers and state government, from success of the reforms in reducing prescription drug costs. Americas Agenda provided technical assistance and training to make state employee effective in their role as partners with the State in Colorados reformed pharmacy benefit manager services procurement process.In Ohio, AAHCA organized support from a coalition of patient advocates, labor unions, and other stakeholders behind an innovative approach to reforming the state prescription drug marketplace through a strategy we refer to as Duty of Care, which would limit prescription drug manager practices that exploit perverse prescription drug market incentives to increase, rather than reduce, costs of prescription drugs. Americas Agenda participated in drafting model Duty of Care legislation to serve as a template for introduction in several states. With Americas Agenda support, the concept has been proposed for prospective enactment by the Ohio State legislature. 8248407 false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false true 8 0 true 3 true false false false false false false false false X 22 21 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true false false true true false X Mark Blum 2022231585 1025 Connecticut Avenue NW 907 Washington DC 20036 Mark Blum Executive Direc 30.00 0.00 X 291706 0 77154 Douglas Dority President/Chair 20.00 0.00 X X 173581 0 26037 Matt Loeb Director 0.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Christopher Blass Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Clayola Brown Director 0.02 0.00 X 0 0 0 Eric Dean Secretary/Treas 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Joseph Hunt Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Morton Bahr Director 0.02 0.00 X 0 0 0 Joseph R Bock Director 0.02 0.00 X 0 0 0 Marc Perrone Director 0.02 0.00 X 0 0 0 Bernard Tyson Director 1.90 0.00 X 0 0 0 Clark Marcus Director 0.19 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott A LaGanga Director 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Edward M Smith Director 0.02 0.00 X 0 0 0 Janis Di Monaco Director 0.77 0.00 X 0 0 0 James P Hoffa Director 0.02 0.00 X 0 0 0 James Boland Director 0.06 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cecil E Roberts Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jacques Loveall Director 0.19 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sean M Spiller Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Julie L Goon Director 0.02 0.00 X 0 0 0 Honorable Richard Gephardt Director 0.08 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brian Kelley Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cliff A Robertson Director 0.38 0.00 X 0 0 0 465287 103191 2 false true false Michael J Kapsa 2501 Porter St NW 916 WAshington DC 20008 Program Consulting 175253 1 15000 15000 Education Fund Reimburse 541610 310417 310417 Membership Dues & Assessments 541900 8965450 8965450 9275867 6371 6371 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 9297238 9275867 6371 7406700 7406700 0 0 0 568478 438279 67588 62611 0 8892 7197 667 1028 0 0 27450 19215 5490 2745 0 2150 2150 15720 15720 0 0 0 391624 348240 43384 46 46 6606 4945 955 706 0 0 18424 13790 2664 1970 5803 5803 0 0 220 220 0 337 252 49 36 4729 3539 684 506 Bank Service Charges 1782 1782 Licenses and Permits 1185 1185 Dues and Subscriptions 597 447 86 64 0 8460743 8248407 142670 69666 23408 10000 2482100 2863749 0 1861146 2282191 0 0 0 0 14082 32794 6783 5774 1346 1009 0 0 0 0 4646 4646 4386728 5194389 31488 2654 31488 2654 X 4355240 5191735 4355240 5191735 4386728 5194389 836495 X false false false 1348 1348 2935 1926 1009 2500 2500 1009 true PBM Accountability Project 1025 Connecticut Ave 907 Washington DC 20036 842122458 7406700 0 Cash granted Program support 0 1 Grantmaker's Description of How Grants are Used The organization requires reporting of funds expended by grantees. false false false false false false false false false Douglas Dority President/Chair 173581 26037 199618 Mark Blum Executive Direc 291706 40500 36654 368860 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Form 990 is available to the officers and board members prior to filing.
