NBC News: California could launch its own generic prescription drug label
Gov. Gavin Newsom wants California, home to nearly 40 million people, to contract with generic drug companies to make prescription medications on its behalf so it could then sell them to the public.
It’s now up to state legislators to approve this.
Prescription drug prices are too high.
I’m proposing that California become the first state in the nation to establish its own generic drug label.
It’s time to take the power out of the hands of greedy pharmaceutical companies. https://t.co/XphJz4iukQ
