That represents a 45 percent increase since 2013 and the highest number since at least 1990, state Department of Public Health numbers show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of those cases had tragic endings: Thirty of the 278 babies affected by congenital syphilis in 2017 were stillbirths, the highest number in 22 years. \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/syphilis-among-california-newborns-spikes-amid-broader-std-epidemic/\">Congenital syphilis\u003c/a> occurs when syphilis passes from a pregnant woman to her fetus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has the second-highest rate of congenital syphilis in the country after Louisiana, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/std/stats16/tables/41.htm\">most recent national data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re getting a lot of … younger pregnant women infected with syphilis and not getting prenatal care,” said Mario Alfaro, regional program director for education at Planned Parenthood Mar Monte in Fresno.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno County accounted for 60 of the state’s congenital syphilis cases last year, including seven stillbirths, said Joe Prado, a division manager at the county Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresno County participates in a pilot program run by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the state public health department to address congenital syphilis. Officials say the program has already increased outreach and screening but that the number of diagnoses is still rising.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newborns with congenital syphilis may suffer from deformed bones, severe anemia, blindness, deafness or other symptoms. According to the CDC, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/std/syphilis/stdfact-congenital-syphilis.htm\">up to 40 percent of babies born\u003c/a> to women with untreated syphilis may be stillborn or die from the infection as a newborn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alfaro cited lack of access to health care, insurance and education as contributing factors to the rise in congenital syphilis. “All of those things are a deadly combination,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prado also pointed to a rise in syphilis among methamphetamine users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re just seeing this is a more difficult population to get a hold of, to reach and really be able to get them to consent and agree to treatment,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chlamydia has increased 9 percent in California since 2016. Chlamydia is more prevalent in women, while gonorrhea, which has increased 16 percent since 2016, is more common in men.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Half of chlamydia and a third of gonorrhea cases are folks under age 25,” said Dr. Heidi Bauer, the state public health department’s chief of the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Control Branch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her division released this preliminary data this week, a few months before the final numbers become available, because the increases are so dramatic, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rates of both chlamydia and gonorrhea are nearly five times higher among blacks than whites. And men who have sex with men also have much higher rates of infection than the general population. Their rates of syphilis are more than 20 times the overall rate, and their rates of gonorrhea are more than 15 times the overall rate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s data did not include HIV, a viral STD. New HIV infections fell in both California and nationwide from 2012 to 2016, in part because of \u003ca href=\"https://www.hiv.gov/blog/new-hiv-infections-drop-18-percent-in-six-years\">improved treatment\u003c/a> and increased use of the \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/use-of-hiv-prevention-drug-grows-but-lags-among-non-whites/\">HIV-prevention pill known as PrEP\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While there’s \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/gonorrhea-rate-has-shot-up-in-california/\">no one clear reason for the increases\u003c/a> of the other STDs, Bauer pointed to “very high rates of folks who are not accessing sexual health services and aren’t getting screened frequently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If left untreated, chlamydia and gonorrhea can lead to infertility, ectopic pregnancy and chronic pelvic pain. Syphilis can cause permanent vision and hearing loss, and other neurological problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once diagnosed, doctors can often cure these sexually transmitted diseases with antibiotics, said Dr. Karen Smith, the state’s public health director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because these infections often appear without symptoms, San Francisco County wants to make sure the hardest-hit populations have access to regular screenings, said Dr. Susan Philip, a division director at the county Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Making sure that there are culturally appropriate and sensitive services … where young people would be willing to seek care becomes really important,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>This story was produced by \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a>, which publishes \u003ca href=\"http://www.californiahealthline.org/\">California Healthline\u003c/a>, a service of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.chcf.org/\">California Health Care Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kaiserhealthnews.org/\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a> (KHN) is a national health policy news service.

I'm doing it at [their] convenience.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This one-on-one, personalized medical education is called “academic detailing” -- lifted from the term “pharmaceutical detailing” used by industry salespeople. It is just one of the ways in which California health officials are trying to diminish opioid addiction in the state. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is also expanding access to medication-assisted addiction treatment under a different, $90 million grant through the federal 21st Century Cures Act. \u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'There is some poetic justice... in using the same kind of marketing approach to disseminate helpful evidence-based information, as some [drug] companies were using... to disseminate less helpful and occasionally distorted information.'\u003ccite>Dr. Jerry Avorn, Harvard Medical School\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The total budget of the detailing project in California is less than $2 million.

"content": "\u003cp>Citing budget-busting drug costs, a California lawmaker wants state health programs to band together to negotiate better prices with drug companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember David Chiu (D-San Francisco) has introduced a bill that would strengthen intra-agency collaboration on drug cost-saving strategies. Lawmakers will consider the bill at an Assembly Health Committee hearing on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Californians and Americans are frustrated with the lack of progress around drug prices,” Chiu said, citing the uproar over EpiPen and hepatitis C medications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said state agencies should pool their efforts “so that we can leverage that consumer power and get the best deal for our money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the proposed California Drug Costs Reduction Act does not mandate that various California health programs such as Medi-Cal or Covered California purchase drugs together, it would require administrators of those programs and 17 other state agencies to convene twice a year to strategize about ways to keep costs down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through the California Pharmaceutical Collaborative (CPC), state officials would consider a uniform state drug formulary and look at paying for drugs based on the value they bring to the health system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A pharmaceutical collaborative by that name already exists within the California Department of General Services and purchases drugs for state prisons, hospitals and universities. This bill would significantly expand on those efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu says it’s unclear what the current program is doing, and if it has been successful in bringing down drug costs. The 2002 legislation that created the collaborative required only a few agencies to participate, and only one report back to the legislature in 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2005 report from the California State Auditor suggested the Department of General Services could do more to bring down pharmaceutical costs for California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A more recent analysis from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office showed spending by the Department of General Services has increased at a relatively high rate — about 20 percent annually between 2012 and 2016, although that trend may have been skewed by the release of high-cost hepatitis C drugs during that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t had transparency about the work that’s happened,” Chiu said. During a February 2017 California legislative hearing about drug prices, the lawmaker expressed frustration about not being able to get information about the workings of the CPC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu’s bill would require annual reports from the pharmaceutical collaborative, which the lawmaker says would ensure more accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman with the Department of General Services, Brian Ferguson, wrote in a statement that it has been meeting “regularly” to create a “roadmap” to cut drug costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal so far has no registered opposition. Priscilla VanderVeer, a spokeswoman with the drug company trade association Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) had no comment on the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other states such as Massachusetts have bulk purchasing programs for drugs, according to the National Academy for State Health Policy. And Oregon and Washington have joined together to create a bulk purchasing program. It is one of five multi-state pharmaceutical programs in the country, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a third of Californians have health care coverage through Medi-Cal alone. Together with Covered California, and the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), these agencies insure more than 16 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say the diverse ways state programs pay for drugs would make it hard to implement an across-the-board prescription drug purchasing system in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ben Johnson, fiscal and policy analyst with the Legislative Analyst’s Office said that the Medi-Cal program has different rules for payment and coverage than the state’s prison system. Medi-Cal is also entitled to deep drug discounts that other state agencies don’t receive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of work would have to be done to be able to actually harmonize and create a uniform system of drug procurement in the state,” Johnson said. His agency does not take positions on legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for AIDS patients and retired people support the bill. The California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG), which sponsored the initial legislation to create the collaborative in 2002, supports the current proposal as well. In a letter to the bill’s author, the group said the measure would provide “additional tools and direction” and increase accountability on the state government’s actions to reduce drug prices.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Lawmakers will consider the bill at an Assembly Health Committee hearing on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Californians and Americans are frustrated with the lack of progress around drug prices,” Chiu said, citing the uproar over EpiPen and hepatitis C medications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said state agencies should pool their efforts “so that we can leverage that consumer power and get the best deal for our money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the proposed California Drug Costs Reduction Act does not mandate that various California health programs such as Medi-Cal or Covered California purchase drugs together, it would require administrators of those programs and 17 other state agencies to convene twice a year to strategize about ways to keep costs down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This bill would significantly expand on those efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu says it’s unclear what the current program is doing, and if it has been successful in bringing down drug costs. The 2002 legislation that created the collaborative required only a few agencies to participate, and only one report back to the legislature in 2005.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2005 report from the California State Auditor suggested the Department of General Services could do more to bring down pharmaceutical costs for California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A more recent analysis from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office showed spending by the Department of General Services has increased at a relatively high rate — about 20 percent annually between 2012 and 2016, although that trend may have been skewed by the release of high-cost hepatitis C drugs during that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I haven’t had transparency about the work that’s happened,” Chiu said. During a February 2017 California legislative hearing about drug prices, the lawmaker expressed frustration about not being able to get information about the workings of the CPC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chiu’s bill would require annual reports from the pharmaceutical collaborative, which the lawmaker says would ensure more accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman with the Department of General Services, Brian Ferguson, wrote in a statement that it has been meeting “regularly” to create a “roadmap” to cut drug costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal so far has no registered opposition. Priscilla VanderVeer, a spokeswoman with the drug company trade association Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) had no comment on the proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other states such as Massachusetts have bulk purchasing programs for drugs, according to the National Academy for State Health Policy. And Oregon and Washington have joined together to create a bulk purchasing program. It is one of five multi-state pharmaceutical programs in the country, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a third of Californians have health care coverage through Medi-Cal alone. Together with Covered California, and the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), these agencies insure more than 16 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say the diverse ways state programs pay for drugs would make it hard to implement an across-the-board prescription drug purchasing system in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ben Johnson, fiscal and policy analyst with the Legislative Analyst’s Office said that the Medi-Cal program has different rules for payment and coverage than the state’s prison system. Medi-Cal is also entitled to deep drug discounts that other state agencies don’t receive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of work would have to be done to be able to actually harmonize and create a uniform system of drug procurement in the state,” Johnson said. His agency does not take positions on legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates for AIDS patients and retired people support the bill. The California Public Interest Research Group (CALPIRG), which sponsored the initial legislation to create the collaborative in 2002, supports the current proposal as well. In a letter to the bill’s author, the group said the measure would provide “additional tools and direction” and increase accountability on the state government’s actions to reduce drug prices.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
