Senate Democrats’ bill to address skyrocketing prescription drug costs signed into law

CONCORD - Governor Chris Sununu signed a bill that will allow prescription drugs to be imported from Canada. The bill was originally introduced by Sen. Majority Leader Feltes, D-Concord.

“Long before the coronavirus pandemic, New Hampshire faced the highest health care costs in the nation —the highest premiums, copays, deductibles, and skyrocketing prescription drugs,” said Feltes. “As families across the state have been economically crushed, the need to curb skyrocketing prescription drug costs and the rationing of life-sustaining prescription drugs has only increased. For many, the situation is quite literally life or death. No one should be forced to choose between their health and their financial security.”
