Litigation Content
Why this Matters:
The plaintiff argues that a Connecticut law prohibiting drug manufacturers and wholesalers from excessively pricing certain generic prescription drugs violates the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, the Dormant Commerce Clause, and Separation of Powers. Price gouging laws are one approach states are currently pursuing to lower prescription drug costs for their residents.
Potential Impact:
The inability for state policymakers to address prescription drug affordability could negate savings for patients, and more broadly restrict state regulatory authority in the health care arena.
