Finally, Mr. Davis implied that the public was misled and that Gov. Larry Hogan opposed the bill. However, the op-ed omitted the fact that both the Senate and the House of Delegates held comprehensive public hearings and briefings during the 2017 legislative session to fully understand the depth and breadth of the prescription drug pricing problem that plagues many Marylanders. And, after those extensive hearings, the General Assembly passed the bill with support from both parties and Governor Hogan chose to allow the bill to become law. Marylanders can be very proud that the General Assembly enacted this critical legislation which goes a long way to protect all of us from skyrocketing drug price increases.
