A bill to break up UnitedHealth, CVS, Cigna and more has been introduced by a bipartisan group of U.S. senators and representatives. The legislation would force insurers to sell their pharmacy businesses. It aims to combat PBMs, pharma middlemen who drive up costs.

“According to The Lancet, at least 68,000 Americans die preventable deaths every year because they are denied care or can’t afford it. That’s 68,000 people—grandparents, children, and loved ones—lost because healthcare in America is treated as a commodity rather than a basic human right.”
