The Ohio Drug Price Relief Act was a ballot initiative in Ohio that would have made the state pay no higher of a price for prescription drugs than the lowest price that the United States Department of Veterans Affairs pays for them.[1] It was voted on November 7, 2017 as Issue 2 on the ballot.[2] The act was originally going to be voted on in November 2016, but the measure did not receive enough signatures. It was mostly funded by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation,[3] the same organization that backed California Proposition 61.[4] Supporters of the act said that it would lower drug prices and help save the state money, while opposers said that it was unworkable.[2]
The initiative did not pass, failing by an almost 4 to 1 margin.[5]
