Colorado to become first state to cap drug prices
“Colorado’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board voted that the injectable drug Enbrel is unaffordable to patients in the state. The medication can cost patients and their insurance companies more than $46,000 a year.
“The vote allows the board to consider setting a maximum price for Enbrel in Colorado when it meets again next week, which would be the first time any state took that step with any prescription drug.”
