PHARMACEUTICALS

The state subsidies of prescription cost do not cover all prescriptions and that the cost of advertising drugs contributes to higher costs.I support both state and federal legislation to deal with these problems. Because Pennsylvania is the home of many prescription drug companies, it is especially difficult to get state legislative action. But I believe Governor Rendell's desire for great bulk state pruchasing of prescription drugs has merit as an attempt to lower drug costs for more people.
