GOVERNMENT PRICE CONTROLS MAY CREATE Rx DRUG DESERTS.
SAY NO TO HB 1443.
HB 1443 creates a state-appointed Prescription Drug Affordability Board with the power to review and set upper payment limits on selected prescription drugs.
​
Unfortunately, this misguided legislation poses serious risks to community pharmacies and patient alike without addressing the broader challenges that make health care unaffordable.
​
Community pharmacies are essential to the communities they serve, providing access to critical medicines and treatments.
Join us in opposing HB1443.
Don’t force community pharmacies to choose between financial loss and patient access.
