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 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.
