Rep. Spain Lauds Transformational Bill to Lower Prescription Drug Costs

Speaking on the House floor in support of House Bill 1697, Rep. Ryan Spain called it a transformational piece of legislation that positions Illinois to lead the nation in prescription drug affordability. Most importantly, this bill stabilizes the community pharmacies that are so important in rural parts of Illinois, empowers patients with direct rebates and ensures discounts go back to patients to lower the cost of prescription drugs.
