Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers says picking up a prescription medication "shouldn't break the bank." 

The governor signed an executive order Wednesday which will create a task force aimed at reducing prescription drug prices in the state.  The task force will gather and analyze data on development, pricing, distribution and purchasing of the vital drugs. 

A close look will be taken at strategies pursued in other states to reduce the prices.
