This one is actually kind of complicated. Healthcare costs are weird.
In general marginal costs to make drugs you already know how to make are usually low, so you can and do see a lot of free riders on the expensive part (R&D). It would be surprising if Illinois can't just join them.
That said, ideally if you're trying to contain costs by fiat you want these to be negotiated by governments and healthcare providers.
