INTRODUCTION OF RESOLUTION

The following resolution was read by title and referred to the committee indicated:

HJR00-1007

by Representatives Morrison, Berry, Saliman, and Tool--Concerning a study by designated executive branch agency directors to evaluate the feasibility of the state requiring assistance to Medicare recipients for pharmaceutical reimbursement.

Committee on Health, Environment, Welfare, & Institutions

WHEREAS, Americans spent an estimated one hundred billion dollars for prescription medications in 1998, an increase of approximately eighty-four percent over the previous five years; and

WHEREAS, The average cost of a prescription medication increased forty percent in 1998, when the overall consumer inflation was only about fifteen percent; and

WHEREAS, Americans are consuming more prescription medications than ever before; and

WHEREAS, New and better medications are available on the market due to accelerated development of the medications by pharmaceutical companies, a fast-track approval system by the Federal Drug Administration, and advertising to encourage consumers to request specific medications be evaluated and prescribed by their physicians; and

WHEREAS, New and better medications have increased the amount of copayments that persons who have insurance coverage pay; and

WHEREAS, While new prescription medications are showing a sharp increase in price, the medical benefits for treatment of diseases have also increased dramatically; and

WHEREAS, New prescription medications have provided more effective treatments for depression and osteoporosis and the ability to treat previously untreatable ailments; now, therefore,

Be It Resolved by the House of Representatives of the Sixty-second General Assembly of the State of Colorado, and the Senate concurring herein:

(1) That the executive branch agency directors for the Department of Public Health and Environment, the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing, the Office of State Planning and Budgeting, and the Department of Personnel include in the study of consolidating the contract purchasing by the state an evaluation of the feasibility of offering residents eligible for Medicare and who are below one hundred eighty-five percent of the federal poverty level to receive prescription medications at the state Medicaid reimbursement rate. The report shall include an analysis of:

(a) The cost to the state for purchasing such pharmaceuticals; and

(b) The number of residents that would benefit from such pharmaceutical assistance.

(2) That this study be completed by June 30, 2000, and a report be made to the General Assembly and the chairpersons of the Committees on Health, Environment, Welfare, and Institutions for the House of Representatives and the Senate.

Be It Further Resolved,

That copies of this resolution be sent to Jane Norton, executive director for the Department of Public Health and Environment; Jim Rizzuto, the executive director of the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing; Nancy McCallin, the Office of State Planning and Budgeting; Larry Trujillo, the executive director of the Department of Personnel; and the chairpersons for the Committees on Health, Environment, Welfare, and Institutions for the House of Representatives and the Senate.
