Everyone supports containing skyrocketing prescription drug prices. Unfortunately, H.B. 1780 sponsored Rep. Rebecca McBeath (D-District 26), makes the problem worse for New Hampshire patients and our economy. While well-intentioned, Rep. McBeath’s bill doesn’t address the real cause of high drug prices, and would penalize FDA-approved generics – the medicines that have been reliably affordable for so long for so many consumers. Sadly, this disconnect could actually have the perverse effect of raising drug costs in the State.
