On the recordJuly 17, 2017
I want to thank my friend. He has brought out so many things. And you know, Representative Carter, one of the things that is off the top, when we talk about Mack Transparency, when we talk about this list we talk about, one of things they come back at us, and they say: Well, it is going to increase cost. You know, if you do this, it increases cost. And it is sort of interesting because in Texas, this actually happened in 2013, they did their top 200 drugs, and they were somewhere in the neighborhood of a little over $200. And then in just a matter of 3 years, those average prices of those 200 drugs dropped to below $100. We are both from Georgia when we were talking about it. That is going down. It is not going up. It is because they are actually having to show what they are doing. That is why this--don't you agree that that is why we are having to do what we are doing here?
