Abstract

"News & Issues" piece on a legislative bill high on the Senate Democratic leadership's agenda that seeks to establish a Public Utilities Commission-like board to control drug prices in Maine. The acceptable price for a given prescription would be the same as either the negotiated price to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs or the cost of the medication in Quebec, whichever is lower. The bill, is sponsored by Majority Leader Chellie Pingree of North Haven.
