Gov. Evers Highlights Plans to Lower Prescription Drug Prices, Increase Transparency, Protect Consumers

Statement

Gov. Tony Evers today highlighted initiatives in his 2023-25 biennial budget that aim to lower prescription drug prices, including capping the cost of insulin, increase transparency in the drug supply chain and pharmaceutical industry, and protect Wisconsin consumers.

"No Wisconsinite should have to choose between paying bills and putting food on the table or getting their life-saving medications--access to healthcare and picking up basic prescriptions or insulin shouldn't break the bank," said Gov. Evers. "We need to increase transparency in the prescription drug supply chain and industry, reduce prices wherever we can, and help protect consumers from outrageous, irrational, and burdensome out-of-pocket expenses, and that's what our plan aims to do."
