(Peoria, IL) — Illinois is working to improve healthcare affordability and access in the state. Governor Pritzker signed into law the Prescription Drug Affordability Act and the Healthcare Protection Expansion Act. The Prescription Drug Affordability Act regulates pharmacy benefits managers, the middlemen who negotiate prices between drug manufacturers, insurers, and pharmacies. The Healthcare Protection Expansion Act strengthens consumer protections in health insurance coverage by increasing transparency in coverage decisions, reducing surprise billing, and expanding access to essential health benefits.
