I joined Governor Lamont recently when he shared information on two of his proposed bills to reduce healthcare costs for Connecticut residents, one of which was referred to the Public Health Committee:
The proposed legislation works to eliminate unnecessary charges, reduce rising healthcare and prescription drug costs, and increase affordability by enhancing competition by:
- Outlawing the use of anti-competitive contracting practices
- Enhancing transparency
- Cap out-of-network charges
- Establish a Drug Discount Card Program
- Utilize a multi-state bulk purchasing program to lower prescription drug costs
