SPRINGFIELD, IL (KMOX) - The Illinois Governor is praising passage of the Prescription Affordability Act. J-B Pritizker says "predatory pharmacy benefit managers have been the middlemen whose business practices too often jack up prescription drug prices and shut down small, independent pharmacies that are frequently rural communities’ lone options when people need medications."

Pritzker says he is grateful for the General Assembly’s broad bipartisan partnership with him to require pharmacy benefit managers to become responsible actors and lower prescription drug prices.
