Updated: 3:40 PM CST February 15, 2021 INDIANAPOLIS As Americans pay an increasing amount of money out-of-pocket for prescription drugs, lawmakers in several states are considering measures to cap drug prices and punish companies that raise the prices without justification. Kaiser Health News, a non-profit news service, found lawmakers in Hawaii, Maine, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Washington are considering changes that are designed to control costs for patients. Kaiser points to several studies that underscore the importance of lower drug prices to consumers and the urgency for lawmakers to take action. Politico and Harvard University released results of a survey last month that found reducing prescription costs was the second-highest policy priority for Americans. The survey found 87 percent of those surveyed favor federal action to lower prices.
