Michigan House OKs bills for transparency in pharmacies, health care

Michigan House legislators have passed several bills intended to improve transparency in health care and at pharmacies. The bills address drug prices and the expansion of telehealth. Supporters say the burden of growing drug costs should be shifted from consumers to pharmaceutical companies. The bills aim to expand accessibility to affordable medication by allowing pharmacists to talk with patients about their options. The legislation will next head to the Michigan Senate and, if approved, to the governor’s desk.
