加州立法者与州长Newsom在降低处方药费用的新条例上发生冲突。 California lawmakers clash with Governor Newsom over new regulations to lower prescription drug costs.

加利福尼亚州立法者和总督Gavin Newsom在如何解决处方药价格上涨问题上意见不一, 重点是药房福利管理者(PBMS)。 California lawmakers and Governor Gavin Newsom are at odds over how to tackle rising prescription drug prices, focusing on pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs). 一项新法案提议严格管制私营银行,包括国家发放许可证和向医疗保险人发放所有药品退款,但Newsom去年否决了一项类似的法案,质疑其效力。 A new bill proposes strict regulation of PBMs, including state licensing and passing all drug rebates to health insurers, but Newsom vetoed a similar bill last year, questioning its effectiveness. 尽管联邦对PBMs提出批评,但州一级的改革被认为至关重要,因为自2017年以来,加利福尼亚州保健计划药物成本上升了50%以上。 Despite federal criticism of PBMs, state-level reforms are seen as crucial as health plan drug costs in California have risen over 50% since 2017.
