Discussing NYS budget proposal to allow DFS to investigate when price of a prescription drug increases by more than 100% within a one-year. General sense that trigger should be lower. @NYHPA policy forum on #RxCosts

As an asthma patient, now this is personal. CA law showing biggest generic drugmaker plans a 49% price bump May 1 for an asthma inhaler. NY consumers need #Rx#transparency. https://t.co/yHRAOCAZXk
CA #Rx#transparency law gives advance notice of price hikes. Other states following CA's lead. NY could look at giving consumers this needed cost info. https://t.co/E7E52AxPoX
Once again, @NYHammond and @empirecenter get it: NY does have an affordability crisis in health care. But w/$4B in health taxes, it's not a lack of revenue. Legislators should keep that in mind as they head to the budget deadline. https://t.co/Nga2ChSH35

Ulster Co. businesses say Gov. Cuomo’s proposal to raise health insurer taxes will raise their health care cost and hurt their businesses. All that is bad for NYS. https://t.co/lB9h7tkZAR
Local businesses joining together to fight bad budget proposals from @NYGovCuomo that will lead to higher health care cost for them. https://t.co/JZdE0CUbCQ
