The Drug Rebate Bill
Drug rebate rule forces insurers to lower copays for patients
INS-COST SHARING/DRUG REBATES
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would make insurers pass drug rebates to you, cutting your out‑of‑pocket cost for each prescription.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Right now the bill is just a proposal, but if it passes you could see lower copays on your prescriptions. Insurers would have to use the rebates they get from drug makers to lower what you pay at the pharmacy. This could save families money and make medicines more affordable.
