Proposition 79, endorsed by major health, senior, and consumer advocates, would have used the purchasing power of the state to leverage enforceable discounts from the prescription drug companies. Both Propositions 79 and 78, a countermeasure by the drug companies, were voted down along with every other measure on the November 2005 special election ballot.

Proposition 79 is endorsed by major health, senior and consumer advocates. Not the drug industry. And not trial lawyers.
