Lucas Nesse, president and CEO of the Minnesota Council of Health Plans, issues statement on Minnesota House Passing Drug Price Transparency Legislation
Statement:
“Minnesota’s nonprofit health plans are proud to have played a key role in advancing this bipartisan legislation. Prescription drugs are a major driver of premiums and now account for nearly a quarter of health care expenses – even exceeding in-patient hospitalization costs. Greater transparency of these expenses will help advance affordable drug pricing for all Minnesotans and lead to useful data to better inform policymakers.”
