Abstract
In response to unrelenting increases in prescription drug spending and use, many states are developing and implementing innovative policy solutions. The Reforming States Group (RSG), a nonpartisan organization of senior executive and legislative leaders from more than forty states and provinces formed in 1992, proposes a series of actions to improve the functioning of this market by introducing more explicit information on quality, effectiveness, and price and by experimental waiving of federal regulations.Keywords
