Illinois Senate Republican Leader John Curran has expressed support for the recent signing of House Bill 1697. According to Curran, the bill is a significant move towards reducing prescription drug costs and enhancing healthcare affordability for families.

Curran stated, “This is an important step toward lowering the costs of prescription drugs and making healthcare more affordable for families." He emphasized his backing of the initiative aimed at ensuring fairness, transparency, and accountability in setting medication prices in local pharmacies.

He further noted that escalating healthcare costs are putting a strain on family budgets throughout Illinois. "The rising costs of healthcare are crushing family budgets across the state," he said, adding his hope that this bipartisan legislation will offer some much-needed financial relief.
