Bill would bring measure of relief to pain patients | UTSanDiego.com

I had never heard of "step therapy" or "fail first" procedures for pain reduction for patients.

Bill would bring measure of relief to pain patients | UTSanDiego.com:

Yes I am in favor of finding ways to reduce the cost of medical care, and yes, I do understand that the best pain relief might be the more expensive medicines.  However we need to be reasonable when providing pain relief.  I believe this bill AB369 is the right step to balance cost control with reduction of debilitating pain in patients.  It is a shame that our medical "system" of insurance needs legislation in order to force them to do the right thing for their patients.
