The cost of prescription drugs is hitting every Vermonter, especially those on fixed incomes. I support the efforts to join a buying consortium with other New England states.
Also, we must negotiate lower prescription drug costs through preferred drug lists, and urge Vermont's Congressional delegation to support an affordable prescription drug benefit for the poor and elderly.
