PRESCRIPTION DRUG ACCESS
Summary
Strongly declares our commitment to ensuring access to affordable prescription drugs for all Illinois residents, regardless of income, race, or location. Urges the U.S. Senate to follow the U.S. House of Representatives and pass the $35 insulin cap and further urges President Biden to sign this crucial legislation into law. Condemns the actions of Representatives Rodney Davis, Adam Kinzinger, Mary Miller, and Darin LaHood in voting for unaffordable insulin. Directs the Department of Healthcare and Family Services to study what steps can most effectively reduce the cost of prescription drugs in Illinois and report their findings to the General Assembly.
