HPIO releases resource page on drug pricing ballot initiative

The Health Policy Institute of Ohio has released a resource page with information on the upcoming statewide drug pricing ballot initiative.

On Nov. 7, 2017, Ohioans will vote on Issue 2 – a ballot initiative that would require state agencies and programs to purchase prescription drugs at prices no higher than what the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs pays for the same medication.

The resource page includes background information on the ballot language, links to news stories about the issue and a collection of research and analysis on drug pricing.

With limited resources and growing need, investing in policies that deliver the greatest impact is essential. This event will highlight strategies that improve health and wellbeing while reducing healthcare spending. Speakers will provide evidence-informed research responsive to today’s political climate, focusing on what works and why it matters now more than ever.
