Did you see this news, john?

Pharmaceutical giant Merck – which generated $14.5 billion in profit last year – just announced it's suing the federal government. They're trying to stop the Inflation Reduction Act's program that gives Medicare the ability to negotiate drug prices. That's unacceptable.

As a pediatrician and person living with Type 1 diabetes, Kim knows cutting-edge medicine only helps people if they can afford it. She's ready to keep fighting to lower prescription drug prices, but she needs your help to do it.

Chip in $5 to help Kim keep fighting for lower drug prices in Congress >>

Dr. Kim Schrier for Congress 

Team,

Last year, Kim was proud to help pass the historic Inflation Reduction Act. This legislation includes provisions to reduce costs by letting Medicare negotiate lower drug prices.

But now, big pharma is fighting back. Pharmaceutical giant Merck just announced it's suing the federal government over the IRA's Medicare-negotiation program:

The New York Times: Breaking News: The Pharmaceutical company Merck Sued the U.S government, claiming a law that lets medicare negotiate prices with drugmakers is unconstitutional

Reducing the cost of prescription drugs is personal to Kim. As a person living with Type 1 diabetes, Kim knows how crucial it is for people to afford the lifesaving drugs they need.

Cutting-edge medicine only helps people if they can afford it. Kim knows that no one should have to choose between putting food on the table and paying for the medication they need. That's why she's ready to keep fighting back against big pharma to lower the cost of prescription drugs.

Team, if you're ready to help Kim keep fighting for lower prescription drug prices, then chip in $5 or whatever you can today:
