Hi There. Does the name “Mylan” ring a bell? It should.

They’re one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies. And in 2017,
they were caught artificially jacking up the price of insulin by more than
1,000% compared to 2007. In that same time period, their CEO’s salary was
raised from $2 million to $19.5 million.

This story should sound familiar because it’s the quintessential tale of
corporate greed in the industry. For decades, executives have worked
tirelessly to gut our health care system in order to enrich themselves.
The good news is that we know of some legislation to help stop it:

House Democrats are moving forward a bill called H.R. 3, the Lower Drug
Costs Now Act, to cap drug pricing and prevent companies like Mylan from
looting the American people. But, in truth, this bill doesn’t go nearly
far enough. And we have a shrinking window to demand improvements before
it reaches the floor for a vote. Will you call your member of Congress
today and demand that they support improvements?

[ [link removed] ]House leadership plans to move H.R. 3 forward next week, so we need you
to call now. Simply visit this page, fill out the form, and follow the
instructions to call your Rep. (We even give you a script too!)

Now, you and I both know that Medicare for All is the real solution to the
skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs in this country.

When the federal government has the full and exclusive power through
Medicare for All to negotiate drug prices with Big Pharma and fund
generics if they refuse to lower costs — that’s when we will really bring
relief to families who can’t afford their medications.

But if Congress is going to pass this bill now, we need to make sure it is
as strong as possible. And then we need to fight like hell for Medicare
for All.

[ [link removed] ]Please take a few minutes today to call your House Rep and demand that
they drastically strengthen this bill. (Read our script here, and let us
know how it goes!)

We’ve called for actions like this before, and I can tell you: it works.
The more calls we drive to these Congressional offices, the more pressure
our House Reps will feel.

All I’m asking for is two minutes of your time. I hope you’ll join us.

In solidarity,
