On Thursday, Gov. Ron DeSantis included $15 million in his proposed 2021-22 budget for an importation program. That would come on top of $10 million the Legislature already directed toward the plan.

Three groups argue that HHS Secretary Alex Azar is “punting” to the states the responsibility for demonstrating the imports will be safe and save costs.
