Gov. Gavin Newsom’s ambitious plan to rein in prescription drug costs through a statewide purchasing system has a new ally: Los Angeles County.
shortly after being sworn in. His plan would consolidate drug purchases in the state to make California the nation’s largest buyer. Doing so, Newsom said, would tilt the bargaining power in California’s favor when negotiating prices with drug companies.
Newsom said he would like to shield some aspects of the state’s plans from the industry giants who will attempt to kill it. The nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office said it could not yet assess Newsom’s plan to consolidate the state’s purchases on high-cost drugs because there are too few details on how it will be implemented.
“It is not that complex. I don't know what more information folks need,” Newsom said. “The executive order laid out in detail four different actions.”However, his executive order from January includes just a broad outline with timelines for status reports that have not been made public.
