Oregon Statutes - Chapter 414 - Medical Assistance - Section 414.330 - Legislative findings on prescription drugs.

The Legislative Assembly finds that:

(1) The cost of prescription drugs in the Oregon Health Plan is growing and will soon be unsustainable;

(2) The benefit of prescription drugs when appropriately used decreases the need for other expensive treatments and improves the health of Oregonians; and

(3) Providing the most effective drugs in the most cost-effective manner will benefit both patients and taxpayers. [2001 c.897 §1]

Note: 414.330 to 414.334 were enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but were not added to or made a part of ORS chapter 414 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
