Newsom's Surprise Veto of PBM Regulation Bill is a Call for Patience
Associate Hassan Shaikh recently authored an article published by the Daily Journal about State Pharmacy Benefit Management legislation following CA Governor Gavin Newsom’s veto of Senate Bill 966.
Hassan writes, “Crucially, the veto of Senate Bill 966 gives the state legislature a remarkable opportunity to observe real market effects and efficacy of comparable measures in Other States before undertaking the significant task of refining and implementing such a measure in the nation's most populous state. The state legislature has a duty to take this opportunity seriously, especially if its prime objectives are genuinely to control prescription drug costs and increase consumers' access at the pharmacy counter.”
