Governor
Rod Blagojevich wishes to reduce the cost of prescription
drugs so that our seniors will not have to choose between
buying food and paying for costly prescription drugs. The
Governor is lobbying the Federal government to allow the
importation of drugs from Canada at significantly lower prices
providing substantial cost savings for Illinois residents
needing prescription drugs.
