SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Health; prescription drug purchasing option.  Directs the Governor, immediately upon the issuance of a waiver template or process by the federal Secretary of Health and Human Services, to apply for a waiver to establish a mechanism for purchasing reduced-cost prescription drugs from Canada and other countries. The Governor must, in the exercise of his substantial powers under state law, take all steps necessary for the Commonwealth to join in participating with the states of Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and Minnesota in the I-SaveRx program, a program for purchasing lower-cost drugs from Canada and other countries that has already developed numerous measures to ensure the quality and safety of the imported drugs. The Governor may, when appropriate, sign a memorandum of understanding for Virginia to participate in the I-SaveRx program.
