CAHC’s support for Rep. Greg Murphy’s Every Dollar Counts Act was included in a recent article by Benefits Pro. The bill would allow out-of-pocket spending for covered drugs to count toward a patient’s maximum out-of-pocket and deductible, regardless of where such drugs are purchased.
Joel White, president of the Council for Affordable Health Coverage, supports the bill.
“Affordability is the defining concern for Americans,” he said. “In health care, it determines whether patients can get the medicines and care they need to stay healthy. Congressman Murphy’s legislation helps remove barriers to that care and improve health outcomes.”
