See Oregon Statutes 414.025
(1) The cost of prescription drugs in the medical assistance program is growing and will soon be unsustainable;
(2) The benefit of prescription drugs when appropriately used decreases the need for other expensive treatments and improves the health of Oregonians; and
(3) Providing the most effective drugs in the most cost-effective manner will benefit both patients and taxpayers. [2001 c.897 § 1; 2009 c.595 § 298a]
414.330 to 414.334 were enacted into law by the Legislative Assembly but were not added to or made a part of ORS Chapter 414 or any series therein by legislative action. See Preface to Oregon Revised Statutes for further explanation.
