In 2023, AARP Virginia polled voters of all ages and found that 35% of Virginians chose not to fill a prescription due to cost. If passed, Senate Bill 274 and House Bill 570 could help lower the costs of certain medications by creating a Prescription Drug Affordability Board, which would have the power to review drug costs and limit how much state agencies, health plans, and individuals pay for certain prescription medications. When he was running for governor in 2021, Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin said he would work to lower prescription drug costs.Three years later, all eyes are on Youngkin to see whether he’ll sign legislation that could help lower those costs—or veto it in the face of a furious lobbying push from pharmaceutical groups.
