This is the second prescription drug discount measure. This one is endorsed by the various social services organizations. Basically, this measure would create a new organization in the state government that’s job was to negotiate drug prices with the companies and then pass those reduced drug prices on to the patients. Because of the realities of limited supply, they’ll also be responsible for determining who is going to get these cheaper drugs.

Somehow I’m pretty pesimistic about yet ANOTHER government health care organization being created. We’ve already got to many. Add this to my normal stance of vote no when in doubt and you get my endorsement.

My endorsement: NO on prop. 79
