Colorado Senate delays measure on pharmacy choice

5/5/2016

 
DENVER — The Colorado Senate delayed voting on a bill Thursday that would allow Coloradans a choice in what pharmacies they want to use.The delay came primarily from Sen. Owen Hill, R-Colorado Springs, who said he generally likes the idea, but wants to see if there’s a way to alter the bill so it doesn’t have government getting too involved in private contracts.As a result, the Senate Finance Committee delayed it until at least today. Sens. Linda Newell, D-Littleton, and Jerry Sonnenberg, R-Sterling, the Senate sponsors of the HB1361, are trying to persuade senators in the committee that the bill wouldn’t interfere with contracts between insurance companies and patients, and that the idea wouldn’t lead to higher costs for either. Read more on the Daily Sentinel Website.
