California Issues
Tackling Prescription Drug Costs in California
California faces a unique set of challenges when it comes to ensuring affordable access to prescription medications. Rising costs, limited transparency, and policy hurdles disproportionately impact families, small businesses, and underserved communities. CAPA and its members are actively working to address these issues.
Key Issue
Rising Prescription Costs
CAPA fights to stop unfair pricing practices by pharmaceutical companies. We advocate for policies that empower employers, unions, and other plan sponsors to work with pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) to negotiate lower prices on behalf of employers and patients.
Key Issue
Transparency in Drug Pricing
Lack of transparency in drug pricing leaves consumers in the dark about how costs are determined. CAPA is fighting for greater accountability and openness in the pharmaceutical supply chain to protect Californians from price-gouging practices.
Key Issue
Access for Underserved Communities
Many Californians living in rural and urban underserved areas struggle to access affordable medications. CAPA is committed to advocating for equitable healthcare solutions that ensure all communities can get the care they need.
Key Issue
Union and Employer-Sponsored Coverage
With 29 million Californians relying on union and employer-sponsored health plans, CAPA is focused on safeguarding these benefits from harmful policies that could lead to higher costs and reduced access to care.
Our Commitment
CAPA is at the forefront of advancing policies that prioritize patient care, reduce costs, and create a more equitable healthcare system for all Californians.
About CAPA
The California Alliance for Prescription Affordability (CAPA) is committed to ensuring access to affordable, effective prescription medications and protecting pharmacy benefit options. With over 29 million Californians relying on employer and union-sponsored health coverage, we advocate for policies that lower costs and expand access to prescriptions.
The pharmacy benefits provided by employers and unions save patients and health plan sponsors an average of $1,040 per person per year and will save Californians more than $108 billion across all insurance markets in the state from 2023 to 2032.
CAPA works to protect Californians from unfair prescription pricing practices, advocating for transparency, patient choice, and affordability in healthcare.
