Senator Paddack Comments on “Rx for Oklahoma” Proposal

“The Prescription Assistance program, created as a result of legislation passed by Governor Henry during his time in the Oklahoma State Senate, serves as a wonderful model for the rest of the state.

“I believe we must build upon the success of the Norman program and find ways to expand the program to other parts of the state so that all Oklahomans have an opportunity to save on the costs of prescription drugs. That is why I authored a bill in the Senate that will build upon the success of the pilot program in Norman.

“I am pleased to see Representative Steele and the Republican Leadership in the House recognize how wonderful the Prescription Assistance program is for Oklahomans in need of help lowering their medical expenses.

“Working families in Oklahoma deserve to benefit from programs that help lower the costs of prescription drugs.

“I look forward to working with Governor Henry and my colleagues in the Oklahoma Legislature to make prescription drugs affordable for working families in Oklahoma, ensuring all Oklahomans have a brighter future.”
