Rx Affordability Forum

Header and Body

No New Yorker should have to choose between meals or medicine. Yet every day, high
prescription drug prices force impossible choices. Medicine doesn’t work if you can’t afford it. Join legislators, experts, and advocates for this virtual forum exploring the high cost of prescription drugs and what can be done in New York during the waning days of the legislative session to help bring consumers some relief.
