Drug Affordability Vote On Dec. 8

Colorado’s Prescription Drug Affordability Review Board will vote for the first time on Dec. 8 whether a medication is so unaffordable that the state should consider an upper payment limit — a decision that both PDAB advocates and critics say will come with significant reverberations. The drug at question is Trikafta, a medication to treat cystic fibrosis that has been described as life-changing in its effectiveness but that carries an average yearly cost of $234,439, including an average annual out-of-pocket expense for Colorado patients of $8,906,63. It was one of five prescription drugs the PDAB singled out in Augustto undergo affordability reviews, and it’s the first of them that the five-member board will put to its judgment. If PDAB members determine that the drug is unaffordable, they will turn around on Dec. 15 and decide whether the state should set an upper payment limit, which would effectively cap the price at which it could be sold in Colorado. While there are six other states that have passed laws to launch boards with functions similar to PDAB, Colorado is furthest along in its process, meaning that eyes across both the state and the country will be on the decision.

‘Vision 2033’ Is Chamber’s 10-Year Stategic Plan

Colorado is at a crossroads. While our economy is strong, there are serious warning signs threatening future growth. Key business and economic metrics are declining, and we must take the right actions now to secure our economic future and competitiveness. Vision 2033 is the Colorado Chamber’s 10-year strategic action plan to foster long-term economic growth and resiliency. The plan lays out a blueprint for Colorado’s economy, deter-mining key areas of focus and specific recommendations to create opportunity for all Coloradans.  In developing the plan over the course of nearly two years, the Colorado Chamber collected input by bringing together leaders in business, economic development, workforce, education, housing, and other community stakeholders to ensure statewide representation of priorities for Colorado’s economic success. Overall, the Chamber commissioned a competitive landscape assessment, conducted a series of polls and surveys on business leaders to outline major challenges and sentiments, and held regional meetings with local businesses across every corner of the state. The result is a plan that identifies Colorado’s strengths, gaps and opportunities. Vision 2033 establishes where we are, where we want to be, and how we will get there.

Holiday Shopping At An All-Time High

The forecast for this week is partly sunny. Holiday shopping numbers reached all-time-records and since more small retailers sell online, they benefitted from the biggest online shopping spend in American history.

What it means: Even though inflation continues to be a strong headwind for small businesses, there are signs that costs are going down. Strong holiday sales, combined with the fact that more small businesses sell online, are bright spots (sunshine) for small business. Clouds remain on the forecast with the seemingly endless small employer challenge of hiring good employees. Rising federal regulatory costs are also part of the partly cloudy horizon for Main Street.
