We're so happy to share that, after years of advocacy, Colorado has become the first state in the nation to limit the cost of an expensive prescription medication, setting an upper payment limit on Enbrel! Read @cohealthaccess.bsky.social's press release here: cohealthinitiative.org/media-releas...

Breaking: Colorado LEADS nation in lowering cost of medicine

WHY IT MATTERS: CO's Rx Affordability Board is the first in the nation to set a limit on the cost of expensive prescription medications.

Thank you! Thanks to the Board and state leaders, Enbrel will cost less and save Coloradans money on health care!
