Colorado’s direct price cap got blocked in court. That’s why more states are turning to PDABs, they review high-cost drugs with evidence-based assessments instead of broad price controls. Colorado, Maryland, and Louisiana are already moving forward with them.
Colorado's case has definitely put more attention on PDABs. Whether through state efforts or federal action, the common goal should be making prescription drugs more affordable for patients.
