prescription drugs

Connecticut lawmakers are considering a bill that would have the state seek federal approval to import cheaper prescription drugs from Canada.

U.S. Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) have introduced legislation to cap the cost of prescription drugs for people on private insurance.

A task force aimed at tackling the rising cost of prescription drugs in Connecticut held its first meeting on Wednesday at the state Legislative Office Building in Hartford.

You could be eligible for some money if you bought certain generic prescription drugs in the U.S. between 2010 and 2018. That’s because of the first two settlements and cooperation agreements with drug manufacturers accused of price fixing in a multistate lawsuit led by Connecticut.

According to Blumenthal, the Affordable Prescriptions for Patients Act would make it harder for drug companies to prevent generic, less expensive versions of their medication from being sold on the market.

Connecticut Democratic Governor Ned Lamont joined U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal and U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes (D-CT) at a senior center in New Britain on Friday to talk up the recently passed Inflation Reduction Act.

The governor wants to work with Massachusetts to limit annual increases in drug prices to no more than inflation, plus 2%.
