Not everyone wants to see Governor Evers create a new prescription drug program for the state.
The governor proposed his Less for RX plan last week as he wants to see how the state can make it cheaper for people to get their medicine. But Eric Bott, with Americans for Prosperity in Wisconsin, says the governor could make drugs cheaper tomorrow by ending Wisconsin’s minimum markup law. That law requires certain things to be sold for more than what people in other states pay. That includes prescription drugs. Minimum markup has stopped Walmart from selling four-dollar prescriptions in the state since it launched that program back in 2006. Bott says less government, not more is the solution.
