2005 House Bill 5191

Join Illinois prescription drug import program

Introduced in the House

Sept. 20, 2005

Introduced by Rep. Marie Donigan (D-26)

To allow the State of Michigan to join a State of Illinois program under which residents can buy lower-priced prescription drugs from Canada, Great Britain and Ireland, which sell drugs at close to the marginal cost for one extra pill, rather than at the U.S. price, which reflects drug development costs.

Referred to the Committee on Health Policy
