Accessing health care and picking up basic prescriptions or insulin should not break the bank folks. So let's work to lower the cost of prescriptions and protect consumers from price gouging on life saving medication. Through my Less for Rx plan, I will again ask Republicans and Democrats work together to approve new state programs aimed at setting price ceilings for prescriptions. and improving oversight of drug companies to make sure Wisconsinites are getting a fair shake. Let's remove the sales tax on over the counter medications and cap the copay on insulin at $35 while we're at it. (45:30–45:41)
