Dear Health Advocates,

There is a LOT to cover this week as our advocacy continues into the Holiday season. Last week, the House voted to PASS the Lower Costs, More Transparency Act! Now, we must put pressure on the Senate to pass the final edition of this bill to ensure more accountability and affordability for patients! We encourage you to keep using the tool below to tell your member of Congress to vote YES on Lower Cost, More Transparency over the next several hours




We also have a few new resources for you, including a slide deck from our webinar last week on California's approach to affordable pricing in healthcare. Also, registration is open for our virtual 2024 Health Action Conference (HAC) in January, where we will talk about these issues and many more. You can find more on these opportunities below, as well as this week’s new resources:
