Healthcare Justice: Share your Prescription Drug Story! Check out our impact on last week’s Senate Finance Hearing with UnitedHealth Group’s CEO!
Maryland’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board has announced its first eight drugs for cost review. The Board needs to hear from everyday Marylanders like us in the next week! Take a minute to fill out a short survey and tell us if one of the drugs on the list is one that you’re struggling to pay for. Here is the list of eight. Feel free to share the other medicines you or a loved one find too expensive.
Our Care Over Cost campaign team and allies showed up in force for the US Senate Finance Committee hearing on May Day last week! Catch us here at the end of the hearing: Recount Video.
The Committee grilled UnitedHealth Group’s CEO Andrew Witty about the February cybersecurity attack on its subsidiary Change Healthcare and the ways in which the corporation has not fully addressed the crisis, leaving patients and providers without the dollars they need to get and give care. Major news outlets like the Washington Post covered the proceedings throughout the day.
Now it’s your turn to send a message to the Senators: sign and share our petition!
Like what you’re seeing about the momentum we’re building? Come volunteer with us, it’s fun and it makes a difference. On Saturday May 18th and Sunday May 19th we’ll be knocking doors in Baltimore and Silver Spring. Contact Patty for details or if you want to let us know about a community event you think we should attend or organize about our healthcare work.
