Prescription Drugs chapter in CT Healthcare Explained updated

We’ve updated the Prescription Drugs chapter of CT Healthcare Explained. The update was prompted by new state law, the experience of Medicare price negotiation, changes to federal expert committees that advise regulation, and Trump administration efforts to lower prices.

CT Healthcare Explained is our explainer website cutting through the complexities of our state’s healthcare system. Like the other 17 topic sections, the Prescription Drug chapter includes a Basics summary and a much longer Deeper Dive into the issue.

Let us know what you think of the update, the rest of the site, and anything we are missing. There is a feedback box at the bottom of every page.

Many thanks to the intrepid team of health policy wonks who collaborated to develop the site and to the stakeholders on our Advisory Committee who keep us honest and balanced.
