Hi Friend,

Yesterday, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)  released its initial list of 10 drugs selected for price negotiations under the Inflation Reduction Act. Big drug companies have been getting away with price gouging for too long, and it's up to us to show our support for these regulations and encourage the Biden Administration to stand strong against pressure from bad faith actors.

On September 16, 2022, the IRA became one of the most important pieces of legislation ever passed to reign in drug prices in this country. The law gives CMS the ability to negotiate drug prices in Medicare, currently the only insurance coverage program where drug prices are not negotiated. Drug negotiation in Medicare will help by addressing the abusive price gouging practices of drug manufacturers, bringing down the cost of its most expensive medications, and allowing the administration to take the necessary steps to make health care affordable and accessible for all.

Action: Sign on to Encourage HHS to Stand Strong Against Big Drug Companies (letter closes 9/15 EOD)

Action: Use this social media toolkit to lift up the importance of Medicare drug negotiation and join other advocates on social media to support strong implementation of Medicare negotiation.

We hope we can count on you to show your support for lowering prescription drug costs.

Thank you,

Families USA
