\nMay 2023 Meeting: IN PERSON
\nTwo presentations seeking support for their policies in Sacramento
\n\nLights on CA/AB 538 \;- Joshua Heller
\n\nLights on CA is an external \;organization working in concert with the California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber position) to pass \;AB 538 (Holden) \;helping to create a Western electrical grid so California businesses can have access to affordable and reliable power as the state transitions to clean energy.

\nAB 538 Coalition Letter U&\;E - 3-31-23\n\nPharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs) \;- John Kabatek
\n\nAccording to John Kabateck\, PBMs play a vital role in negotiating for the most affordable medications and pharmaceuticals for patients and their families here in the Golden State and across the U.S. Nearly every Californian that has a bona fide health insurance plan likely has a PBM negotiating behind the scenes to lower the cost of prescription drugs. And small and ethnic \;businesses benefit from PBMs through lower premiums and cost-savings for their employees. \;
\n \;
\nSadly\, powerful pharmaceutical companies that set the cost of many drugs at unattainable levels for already struggling Californians view PBMs as a threat to their financial gain and monopoly in the marketplace and have launched a campaign to tarnish the image of PBMs and their efforts on behalf of patients and small businesses.
\n
\nJohn Kabateck is seeking Dublin Chamber support and willingness to sound off to media\, policymakers\, and voters on merits of role of PBMs.
