Utah prescription costs: Lawmaker pushes bill targeting ‘medicine mafia’
One lawmaker says there’s a “medicine mafia” keeping prescription costs higher than they need to be. He’s introducing a bill that could force certain companies to give money back to consumers.
Rep. Paul Ray, R–Clearfield, says many people may be pointing the finger of blame at major pharmaceutical companies when it comes to drug prices going up. However, he says there are other companies that are inflating prescription costs, and Ray says they’re doing so to make themselves rich.
