Urge lawmakers to pass SB 401 to finally hold big pharmaceutical companies accountable and make prescription drugs affordable for all Louisianans.
Louisiana families continue to face crushing prescription drug costs for insulin, cancer medicines, and other essential treatments. SB 401 would change that by creating the Louisiana Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) — an independent, nonpartisan panel that can review drug prices and recommend commonsense ways to make life-saving medications affordable.
This bill doesn’t target pharmacies or benefit managers. Instead, it takes aim at the real problem: skyrocketing prices set by pharmaceutical manufacturers. SB 401 would help ensure that patients in rural communities, seniors on fixed incomes, and families across the state can access the medications they need without skipping doses or going into debt.

Your voice matters. Tell your Louisiana state lawmakers to support SB 401 and help establish the Prescription Drug Affordability Board — a commonsense step toward lower drug prices, stronger local pharmacies, and better access for every Louisiana patient.
