Summary: The Oregon Legislature is not quite as party-divided as Congress, but there's still not a great deal of cooperation between parties. So it's notable that legislators of both parties sponsored HB 4005 , an effort to keep drug prices from rising too quickly. The bill requires drug companies to report the costs of research, so at least pricing decisions will be transparent. Republican Senator Dennis Linthicum from Klamath County sponsored the bill in the Senate with Democrat Lee Beyer.
