I wanted to point this out to everyone in case you did not catch this. Prop 61 is a CA ballot initiative that seeks to limit the cost of prescription drugs. I think it is worth following, especially if you are interested in healthcare. Some reading on it is bellow.
I am not sure how I feel about it. I think pharma companies are greedy and that there has to be a better way to make drugs available to people at a reasonable cost based on their economic means. I am not sure, however, that this is the way to do it. I see the pharmaceutical companies making California pay dearly in the form of access to drugs which will only serve a self-fulfilling policy for those who are against the bill who say that access to medication will be the economic cost of the price controls. Which leads me to ask is that even moral? But that’s a different blog post.
