Good Morning Friend, Tomorrow we will join the Nevada Legislature for the Committee to Conduct an Interim Study Concerning the Costs of Prescription Drugs to elevate the voices of Nevadans impacted by Big Pharma's price-gouging. In 2019, pharmaceutical companies increased prices for vital medications by an average of 10.5% or FIVE times the rate of inflation (CBS News). While many believe that yearly price hikes can be attributed to the rising cost of Research and Development, that’s simply not true. Drug companies spend more money on marketing than they do R&D (Washington Post). Institute for a Progressive Nevada will be at the hearing advocating for all of us: Retirees, parents, unemployed people… The ones most impacted by Big Pharma's decision to make prescription drugs unaffordable. What: SB276 Hearing - Sign up here. When: Wednesday, September 9, 2020, at 9:00am Where: The meeting can be listened to or viewed live online here. To get involved, sign up here.
Thank you, |
