or just to tell them to go? It just tells them, you can lead a horse to water, but you

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (1:11:41)

I'm working on that. But in this, I was reading it, but in it, tell me when this happens. I think it would be important that the person buying the pardon knows it before he signs a contract. That's the point of when it should happen.

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (1:11:30)

is a great bill for that. I've bought a lot of property and had, although I think we need to have something to keep them from going drastically up as soon as you buy it. But that's another. I'm working on that.

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (1:04:01)

So do you think this would create more bureaucracy and make

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (57:39)

Can you tell us what is the

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (57:36)

you, Mr. Chairman. When you talk about it, let's talk about your board.

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (2:33:47)

They're representing falsehoods and breach of integrity, and some of the information on there wasn't right. So as CVS, do you advocate for that? Have you been part of that? I don't know anything

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (2:33:10)

The one I called and checked on this morning was from Hot Springs Village. And when I explained what I'm calling for, they said, well, we didn't email you. We don't know anything about this. And I explained it. They said, well, how did these people use our name? I said, I don't know. I don't know how you got. And I said, I know. He said, well, we get our drugs filled from ZVS. Can we call them and complain? I said, absolutely do. Integrity is very important to me. And when, if that information is coming through CVS, which several of them it seemed to be, to me it's terrible.

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (2:32:47)

I have got numerous emails on this bill, a lot of them opposing the bill. I make it a point, if those are from my district, I call them back if I can. Some of them had the phone numbers. Almost all of them I called knew nothing about this. Their name was used on an email, obviously by a lobbyist.

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (2:32:43)

questions. Orson McGurray, you're recognized. Thank you, Chairman. and you represent CVS,

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (1:39:44)

and I would assume that in my world, in my career business, if my competition had the ability to set my prices, pretty soon all of us small businesses would be out. Then we have just one big one, and we know what's going to happen to the prices then. So can you paint a picture for me of what you see is going to happen in the next year

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (1:39:12)

all of them explaining what you are, that PBMs sets the price at which they can charge, and it's going to take them out of business. In fact, one called me yesterday and said that this bill don't pounce. I will be out of business by the end of the year. So it's unbelievable to me that one organization can set the prices of their competition. I don't know how we ever got here to begin with, but can you tell me what you forecast seeing? If this bill doesn't pass, because we've already said so many small pharmacies have went out of business,

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (1:39:08)

Chairman. I have been getting several calls from pharmacies in my district,

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (36:36)

And given this treatment, how long does it, what are the end results? How long does it put the, decrease the effects of Alzheimer's

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (35:39)

apologize. My first question is in the sheet we have here. It says that this bill would

Insurance & Commerce (House) — April 2, 2025 (34:47)

Representative McGurk. Thank you, Chairman. A couple of questions. It says in here that in addition to these treatments, there are new treatments that will be required, mandated by AVD because of this. So could you talk on them just here? Also, what is the cost to the patient now, if they were to take it? I was wondering. I'm curious to know the

Meeting — April 3, 2025 (2:59:47)

does this weaken that in any way? No. Thank

Meeting — April 3, 2025 (2:59:36)

of. But it also says the exception is that you only have to use reasonable efforts to further the interests of them. When you're representing both the buyer and the seller,

Meeting — April 3, 2025 (2:58:06)

and you have to divulge everything does this change that

Meeting — April 3, 2025 (2:57:43)

any questions. Representative McGrew for what purpose and maybe question you're recognized and maybe I don't understand in reading this it says when you choose to be a dual agent now that you have considered dueling may contractually waive the primary duty of absolute fidelity of the license under so this if I understand it it weakens as a dual agent now you're still required to represent both equally
