Oppose HB 246 to Protect Affordable Healthcare
I am writing to urge you to oppose HB 246, a bill that threatens to significantly increase prescription drug spending for North Carolina families. As your constituent, I am deeply concerned about the potential consequences of this legislation, which prioritizes the profits of special interests over the well-being of our community.
HB 246 imposes burdensome mandates that will ultimately drive-up costs for families, small businesses and taxpayers. By mandating an additional dispensing fee and restricting preferred pharmacy networks, this bill threatens to dismantle cost-saving measures and limits access to affordable medication. In fact, the cost to North Carolina families, businesses and taxpayers is expected to be over $700 million in the first year of implementation alone.
As a voter in your district, I am asking you to stand against HB 246 and reject this harmful government mandate. We cannot allow special interests to dictate healthcare policy at the expense of North Carolina families. Please prioritize the needs of your constituents and oppose HB 246 to protect access to affordable healthcare for all.
Thank you for your attention to this critical issue.
Sincerely [Your Name]
