Maybe you’ve seen the billboards for Prop 61, with AARP and the California Nurses Association urging you to “Vote Yes for Lower Drug Prices.” Or the scary TV commercials warning you to vote no on Prop 61, arguing that drug prices will go up if it’s passed.
Prop 61 is the “California Drug Price Relief Act.” It’s shaping up to be one of the most hotly contested -- and expensive -- state measures on the ballot.
The truth is Prop 61 won’t lower drug prices for everyone. It would only affect a few state programs. And Big Pharma is threatening to raise drug prices if the measure is passed.
