Join Cindy & Jheri this Thursday, Jan. 30th to lower RX prices in Nevada!

Friend,

We are elated to announce that we will be working with Cyndi Sturgis, a mother of two children with chronic illnesses, and Jheri Jamerson, a healthcare professional: 

Cindy is a mother of two children with special needs. Her oldest son suffered a traumatic brain injury during the 2009 recession. Hospitalization & rehabilitation costs caused her family to lose their assets and $500,000 in equity from two homes. Her youngest son was born with a congenital intestinal disorder that has been deadly in the past, and her husband is the sole breadwinner of the family so that she can focus on caring for their sons.

Jheri is a caretaker in a medical rehabilitation facility. She provides care to patients who have been discharged from the hospital but have nowhere to go. Her clients include people experiencing homelessness and jobless individuals who cannot afford their medications.

Come support them and the effort to lower prescription drugs at this month's interim legislative hearing on the costs of prescription drugs on Thursday, January 30, 2020.

The first hearing will be held on Thursday, January 30, 2020, at 10:00 am in:

Southern NV: Room 4401 of the Grant Sawyer State Office Building, 555 E. Washington Ave., Las Vegas, NV 89101.

Northern NV: videoconferenced to Room 3137 of the Legislative Building, 401 S. Carson St., Carson City, NV 89701. 

Click here and let us know you'll be there! 

The subsequent hearings are scheduled for Friday, February 28th, Thursday, March 26th and Tuesday, May 5, 2020.

Senate Bill 276 directs the Legislative Commission to appoint a committee to conduct an interim study concerning the costs of prescription drugs as well as explore opportunities and options for making those drugs more affordable for Nevada residents. The committee will report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Committee on Health Care and the 2021 Session of the Nevada Legislature. You can read more here.

Thank you,
