John,

For the second time this month, national special interest groups have launched TV ads in our congressional district. The target of their ominous ads and anger —besides me — is H.R. 3, the “Lower Prescription Drug Costs Now Act”.

H.R. 3 is the bill that would give Medicare the ability to negotiate its prescription drug prices, which it is currently prohibited from doing, unlike the Veterans Administration which can negotiate prices.

H.R. 3 would make the negotiated rates available to all Americans with private insurance, saving the hard-earned money of the people I represent — who at times are choosing between filling their prescriptions and buying groceries.

The nonpartisan CBO estimates the bill would save taxpayers $500 billion over the next ten years, which the bill proposes reinvesting in Medicare benefits, combating the opioid crisis, and supporting community health centers in rural communities like the one I serve.

I believe competition in the marketplace is a good thing, and clearly many of my colleagues agree because H.R. 3 passed last Congress with bipartisan support.

So who would hate a bill that delivers such common-sense results and cost savings to taxpayers enough to run more than a hundred thousand dollars worth of attack ads in my district?

The same special interests that will continue spending dollar after dollar attacking me and my work to lower prescription drug prices from now until election day 2022.

We have a long road to go and many attacks yet to weather. Will you support me today with a contribution to our campaign?
