Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America v. Rhonda Chakolis, et al.

Docket No.
0:20-cv-01497
District Court
Minnesota

Goal

  • Block enforcement of a law
  • Declaration that a law is unlawful

Litigation Content

Why this Matters:

The plaintiffs argue that a Minnesota law that requires manufacturers to provide certain drugs to qualifying low-income Minnesotans free of cost violates the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. Such laws are one approach states are 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.
