Congrats to the state of Maine who has signed four new bills to help reduce the run-a-way cost of prescription drug prices!

Thanks to the leadership of Governor Janet Mills the legislation will help increase transparency, allow safe importation of medications to save consumers more dollars, allow bulk purchasing, and allow rebates to go to beneficiaries filling prescriptions. Bravo! In addition, a medicine affordability board has been established to monitor these programs and to help stop the greed of large pharma. It’s not the final answer but a notable beginning. Hey, you other 49 states- sit up and take notice of what can be done to help all of us in this difficult battle. – Lou Reinitz
