Issue Position: Lowering Our Prescription Drug Costs

Issue Position

Kentuckians have the 2nd highest annual prescription drug cost in the United States. DJ Johnson will work closely with the Cabinet for Health and Family Services to pass a common-sense prescription drug cost reduction plan to dissuade pharmaceutical manufacturers and pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs) from profiting excessively off of the life-saving medications that our communities need. Increased prescription costs disproportionately affect the elderly in our communities, many of which live on a fixed income. DJ will stop this trend, and provide relief to thousands of Kentucky households.
