Arizona is joining a multistate consortium to help lower the cost of prescription drugs by up to 80%, Governor Katie Hobbs announced Wednesday.
She signed an executive order entering the state into ArrayRX, a public pharmacy collaborative with Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Connecticut and Ohio. The program includes a discount card for all FDA-approved prescriptions, as well as lower prices on over-the-counter medicines and supplies such as diabetes test supplies.
Joining this compact means lower costs, fewer worries and healthier outcomes for working people, while many of Arizonas representatives and Congress [members] vote to strip health care access away, Hobbs said.
With the card, consumers will be able to get up to 80% off generic drugs and up to 18% off name brands.
