Wise targets drug price relief in Princeton campaign stop

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rep. Bob Wise visited Princeton detailing a plan to negotiate with major drug firms to lower costs for seniors and the uninsured. He cited a study showing West Virginians pay far more for meds than in Mexico or Canada and urged a bargaining tool leveraging 700,000 to 800,000 affected residents. Wise also outlined a five point plan to boost jobs, education, infrastructure, capital access, and tourism, stressing action over delay.
