East Bay Times Letters to the Editor for July 14, 2023

It’s shocking that insurers and PBMs usually pocket these savings to boost their profits instead of sharing them with consumers. Vulnerable patients shouldn’t have to pay more out-of-pocket just so insurance companies and PBMs can make more money. Lawmakers should pass SB 873 now to bring some relief to patients struggling to afford the high out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs.Animal pollinators, especially bees, are responsible for California’s biodiversity and natural wonder. Throughout the state, bee pollination has allowed wildflowers to thrive, produced complex and varied ecosystems, and bolstered California’s agriculture.
