在爱荷华州,立法机构正在审查旨在规范药剂福利管理人员的法案,以遏制不断增加的处方药成本,并防止关闭药房。
In Iowa, the legislature is reviewing bills aimed at regulating Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) to curb rising prescription drug costs and prevent pharmacy closures.
拟议的法律将要求项目管理机制采用自由通过定价模式,禁止限制病人选择和药房报销的做法。
The proposed laws would require PBMs to use a pass-through pricing model and prohibit practices that restrict patient choice and pharmacy reimbursement.
支持者认为,这些法案将停止关闭药房,改善药品供应,而反对者则警告消费者可能增加费用。
Supporters argue that the bills will stop pharmacy closures and improve access to medications, while opponents warn of potential increased costs for consumers.
与此同时,在堪萨斯州和印第安纳州也发生了类似的抗议和立法推动活动,药剂师和倡导者寻求在处方药市场上提高透明度和降低成本。
Meanwhile, similar protests and legislative pushes are occurring in Kansas and Indiana, with pharmacists and advocates seeking greater transparency and lower costs in the prescription drug market.
