Drug pricing proposals in #HR3, including foreign reference pricing and #medicare drug price negotiation, threaten lifesaving treatments and cures. Thank you, @ScottPetersSD for standing up for CA patients.
We commend @RepKatiePorter for raising concerns about the Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) methodology. We know the QALY discriminates against Californians with disabilities, patients with cancer or a rare disease, and seniors. Federal policymakers must avoid ICER and the QALY.
Thank you Assemblymember Marc Levine @MarcLevine for introducing HR56 proclaiming September 2021 as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month in California.
