Section 22-2A-1 Legislative findings. The Legislature of Alabama finds that the high
cost of pharmaceuticals is a matter of much concern to this state, especially as the cost
and utilization of drug therapy continues to rise. Insofar as this rise represents a trend
towards drug therapy in lieu of more invasive and expensive procedures, it represents a positive

discounts from pharmaceutical manufacturers. The result should be better prices for agencies
and departments of the State of Alabama and better access to life-saving drugs for clients,
