We are incredibly grateful for the organizations who fought alongside us to protect CO’s PDAB by opposing SB140. Their passion and advocacy to protect the PDAB means that the board will continue to review the cost of expensive prescription drugs and lower medication costs for hardworking Coloradans.

Would you agree that we need a group of independent experts who monitor the costs of our prescription drugs and set a MAX PRICE on drugs they find to be overly expensive?
That’s a PDAB (Prescription Drug Affordability Board)!

Last week, Michigan doctors applauded the State Senate's reintroduction of legislation to create a Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB).
If these bills are passed & signed into law, MI would join 6 other states who are lowering state Rx costs through a PDAB.

We voted it out of the Democratically-controlled Michigan Senate yesterday with all Democrats and one Republican voting yes.
Now it’s on to the Republican-controlled Michigan House! I really hope my Republican colleagues see the merits of PDAB and usher it through.

PDABs weren’t built to protect patients—they were built to look like reform.
Now their sham processes mirror RFK Jr.'s gutting of public input at HHS.
Different timelines, same result: patients excluded.

Stopping PDAB from reviewing expensive medications keeps them unaffordable! SB140 would prevent the PDAB from reviewing the cost of orphan drugs and whether or not they’re affordable. But here’s the thing – orphan drugs treat more than just rare diseases; they treat common medical conditions too.

Hardworking Coloradans cannot keep up with the skyrocketing cost of health care. We need our lawmakers to fight. SB140 guts the PDAB by preventing it from reviewing the cost of hundreds of medications. Tell lawmakers to vote NO on SB140. Let CO’s PDAB do its job. secure.ngpvan.com/H7t1id5twkmf...
