On December 4, the legislature started a bipartisan, bicameral Prescription Drug Task Force, dedicated to tackling the rising costs of medications and addressing challenges in prescription drug access and pharmacy care across Connecticut.
Over the coming months, the task force will convene subcommittees to focus on key areas, including:
- Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs)
- Drug shortages and importation
- Patient protection, pharmacy practice, rare diseases and innovation
- Drug pricing and 340B programs
NACDS will continue to participate in and monitor this task force and advocate for PBM reform and our policy principles.
