John,
Did you know that Americans pay over twice as much for prescription drugs as the rest of the world, even as our tax dollars fund the development of new medications?
Pharmaceutical corporations are ripping off the American people. And the U.S. House of Representatives is poised to act―to stand up for our rights and fight back against Big Pharma’s greed.
But, even as the House is working to pass a bold plan to lower drug prices for everyone, Big Pharma is plotting to kill the bill in the Senate.
Donate today to fight back against Big Pharma’s army of lobbyists who want to protect drug corporations’ profits over our health and our financial security.
Right now, out-of-pocket health care costs take up over 40% of the average Social Security check. And, if left unchecked, that percentage will rise to 50% by 2030.[1]
Democrats, including Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Frank Pallone, the powerful chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, have indicated that they’re ready to fight back against Big Pharma’s greed using “whatever vehicle [they] can.”[2] But they need our help.
When the U.S. Senate returns to Washington, DC this coming week, they need to hear from us. Donate $7 today to make sure our voices―from every corner of the country―drown out the greedy calls for “more, more, more” from Big Pharma’s lobbyists.
This is our opportunity to take on Big Pharma’s greed and lower drug prices for everyone in America. Thank you for fighting for a health care system that supports our rights and our health―not Big Pharma’s profits.
Thanks,
Michael Phelan
