Uniting to Support Patient-First Drug Policies
EACH unites patient organizations and allied groups to collectively advocate for patient-first drug affordability policies that protect access to medications.
Empowering Patients & Caregivers to Participate
The PIC aims to empower patients and caregivers to shape healthcare policy through peer-led education, perspective sharing, and activities to ensure patient-reported needs are incorporated into drug affordability solutions.
Advocating for Patient-Driven Policy Solutions
The EACH/PIC Coalition promotes treatment affordability policies that consider patient needs first. We are concerned that the growing movement to conduct cost-reviews and implement payment limits on individual drugs are not sufficiently focused on patient needs and could lead to unintended consequences for patients.
Compromising Patient Access
Cost reviews create a new incentive structure for payers that could compromise patient access to the selected medications due to increased utilization management or reshuffling of formularies.

Creating Barriers to Care
Selecting individual drugs for review and implementing market interventions for only some drugs puts boards in a position of picking winners and losers between drugs, unnecessarily creating inequities between patient populations.

neglecting real patient issues
Focusing singularly on drug prices ignores the complicated nature of our healthcare marketplace and fails to resolve the underlying factors that lead to higher costs for patients.
