Grange lauds potential rule change for Rx rebates at point-of-sale

National Grange President Betsy Huber released the following statement today, Monday, February 3, regarding the Department of Health and Human Services announcement on potential changes to drug rebates:

“The announcement by the Department of Health and Human Services regarding allowing patients to access prescription drug rebates at the point of sale is good news for rural Americans struggling to afford their medicines. The proposed rule gets the middlemen out of the way of patients and their pharmacies and will lower drug costs for those with chronic conditions. These proposed changes should significantly improve critical access for treatment options. We look forward to working with Secretary Azar and his team to ensure rural America actually does see lower drug costs and does receive better access to treatment.”
