Hi friend,
Last month, we asked you to share your stories about the out-of-control costs of prescription drugs. We can't begin to thank you enough for what you've written.
Here are just a few of the many stories you shared with us:
"I don’t have health insurance, so I have almost no health care. Every 6 months I scrape up enough to see a primary care doctor, and don’t have any labs or tests done, just to get high blood pressure medicine I do insist upon whatever is cheapest that may work." — Laure
"As a diabetic for 59 years, I remember when insulin was $10 a vial. Now, thanks to insurance, I can still get a vial...for $389! If not for the ACA, I couldn’t get it."" — Karen
"My blood pressure drugs are well covered by Medicare Advantage Plan. However, four other medications prescribed by specialists are Teir 4 drugs. For one of them I had my doctor prescribe a higher dosage and I purchase off-plan. I cut the tabs in half and pay less than 1/4 of what my plan's copay would be. Three of my medications I choose to do without rather than pay such high copay costs. It would be nice if I could benefit from what the specialists recommend for treatment rather than needing to choose based on costs." — John
These are just a fraction of the stories we've received so far. Thank you — all of you — for speaking out against the soaring cost of prescription drugs.
Chris is working hard to fix this crisis. He helped pass the Lower Drug Costs Now Act which includes his provision to help expand low-income seniors' access to prescription drugs under Medicare Part D. But as usual, Mitch McConnell and national Republicans are stalling action and siding with Big Pharma instead.
If you find these stories as powerful as we do, will you add your name to demand Mitch McConnell take immediate action to give the Lower Drug Costs Now Act a vote?
