From all of us at OCAP, Happy New Year! Together we will lower prescription drug prices in 2026!

No one should have to ration their prescriptions because of cost, yet nearly 1 in 3 Oregonians reported doing just that!
That's why we're fighting to lower prescription drug costs for all Oregonians!

A light green background. At the top white text says: What is an Upper Payment Limit? Below that a white box with black text says: An upper payment limit (UPL) is a price cap for unaffordable prescription drugs that are identified by a regulatory board (like the PDAB). On the right of the white box is a speedometer icon with a dollar sign in the middle. Below that white text says: Will UPLs Lower Drug Prices? Below that a white box with black text says: Yes! This October Colorado’s PDAB became the first to set a UPL on a prescription drug and it’s projected to save them millions of dollars. To the right of the box there is an icon of paper with a dollar sign and a down arrow.
Earlier this month we heard from experts in Maryland and Colorado about how their states are working to save patients money on prescription medications through Upper Payment Limits. Here's our quick summary! Stay tuned for more information!

Who benefits when drug companies are allowed to raise list prices faster than the rate of inflation?
Not regular Oregonians, that's for sure.

Last night, experts from Maryland & Colorado shared how their states are lowering #RxDrugPrices with #UpperPaymentLimits!

We know that #Oregon can follow Colorado's lead. Let’s strengthen our #PDAB so it can finally put #patients (not profits) first. (2/2)

An orange background with faint white "graph paper" boxes. A black and white prescription bottle with a roll of $50 bills coming out is at the top around some clouds. Below black text says Did you know that (highlighted) drug prices outpaced inflation (end highlight) again in 2024? Smaller italicized text says Source: Oregon Prescription Drug Price Transparency Program results and recommendations – 2024
Prescription drug costs rose higher than the rate of #inflation AGAIN, with some medications up more than 15%.
#Transparency exposes these trends and helps drive solutions. Let’s make drug pricing fair and open.

The #OneBigBeautifulBill (HR.1) will cost taxpayers even more than previously reported -- thanks to a "small" provision #BigPharma lobbied for.

This hilarious video from our friends at the Campaign for Sustainable Rx Pricing makes fun of a serious problem: #BigPharma charges too much money for prescription drugs.

Most #generic medicines that Americans use come from other countries. While #tariffs encouraging companies to make more drugs in the U.S. could lower #rxdrugprices in the future, it might actually make them more expensive for people who are having a hard time right now.

Last week, Oregon’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board heard from 30+ patients about skyrocketing drug prices—and voted to approve their initial 2025 list of meds for review! #PDAB #OCAP #ORPol #RXDrugPrices
