John,
Republican, Democrat, or independent, nearly everyone agrees that we’re paying too much for prescription drugs. For too long, Big Pharma has been focused on enriching themselves and their shareholders—while Americans struggle to pay for their prescriptions, ration medicine, and even go without lifesaving drugs.
That’s why I’m leading the fight to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Right now, Medicare works to get the best prices for other types of health care—but there are laws that keep them from doing the same with prescription drugs. Allowing Medicare to negotiate prices will enable older Americans to get the best possible price.
I’ve also introduced the Freedom From Price Gouging Act, which would force Big Pharma to pay the government back when they price-gouge prescription drugs. When Big Pharma gouges prices, it causes Medicare (meaning taxpayers like you) to foot the bill.
And don’t let anyone from Big Pharma tell you they have to charge those high prices so that they can pay for research and development. The numbers show that’s BS.
Patients deserve better, and that’s why I don’t take campaign contributions from pharmaceutical company executives or PACs. That’s why I rely on grassroots donations from supporters like you.
If you can, consider pitching in today so we can continue the fight for lower drug prices.
