Dear Friend,
President Trump’s executive action to reform and lower the cost of prescription drugs follows the policies I have articulated for many years.
The ‘One Pill, One Price’ concept, which ensures Americans no longer subsidize citizens of foreign socialist countries, is something I discussed at length during my 21 in-person Town Hall meetings in each of our district’s counties.
Americans should never pay a higher price than foreigners for the same prescription drugs, most of which are developed and brought to market in the United States.
I have also advocated and cosponsored legislation to end of the pharmacy benefit manager “middleman” that prevents doctors from prescribing medicines to patients and allows monies to be kicked-backed to all involved except the actual consumer. It’s a complete ratchet and I’m very pleased President Trump and Republicans are putting it to an end.
In the short-term, until the entirety of this executive action and precious actions to require price transparency take effect, the provisions signed by the President to allow the reimportation of pharmaceutical products from foreign nations and place caps on out of pocket expenses for drugs like insulin to treat chronic disease, will be effective.
All of these thoughtful and aggressive actions will help lower costs without discouraging U.S. drug companies from advancing the biopharmaceutical cures that help keep us alive and live the best and longest lives possible.
According to the Congressional Budget Office and White House Council of Economic Advisors, the Pelosi-Democrat bill on drug costs, H.R. 3, would impose price controls, taxes and regulations that would block between 15-100 cures from development over the next decade.
My opponent, Feehan, who supports Pelosi’s bill, talks a big game about wanting to help folks drive down prescription drug costs. But it’s all politics with him, as he opposes the President’s leadership on this issue and supports denying cures that may save the lives of millions of Americans. Shameful.
Republicans, led by President Trump continue to implement meaningful and positive policy solutions to solve the problems facing our constituents. As always, good policy makes good politics.
I’m proud to be part of this coalition and help execute sound policy on behalf of southern Minnesotans and America.
Help me fight and win!
Thank you for support!
P.S.
My opponent has been handpicked by Nancy Pelosi and was endorsed by Ilhan Omar. They are already raising him massive amounts of money from their extreme East and West coast liberal friends. That’s why I really need your help today. Even a contribution of $250, $100, $25, or $10 right now (Help Jim Win!) will send a loud message that they can’t buy this district and misrepresent the people of southern Minnesota.
