Massachusetts Gov Maura Healey signed a prescription drug bill that will lower prescription drug prices for certain chronic illnesses such as insulin for diabetes. In some cases, there may be no cost to the consumer for the prescription. The legislation also regulates Pharmacy Benefits Managers and lifts gags on pharmacists to let consumers know if the cost of a prescription is cheaper without insurance.
The set of reforms includes creating a new fund to support career advancement for long-term care workers, requiring care facilities to submit disease outbreak response plans, and allowing qualified assisted living staff to provide basic health services.
