In Review: PCMA submitted a veto letter to Governor Jay Inslee’s (D) office, requesting a veto of Section 7 of ESSB 5213. This move underscores the continued concern and political reality regarding provisions outlined in the bill, which include eliminating spread pricing, mail orders, and pharmacy networks. Similarly, the Pacific Health Coalition, AWHP, and various labor organizations have also composed individual and unified letters, amplifying the plea for the governor to veto Section 7 of ESSB 5213.
