[ [link removed] ]Welch for Vermont

Hello,

The Build Back Better bill — which we passed in the House in November, and
now awaits a vote in the Senate — accomplishes a lot of good for the
American people.

But there’s one issue that I want to highlight today that I’ve worked on
and fought for my entire career: lowering the price of prescription drugs.
One-third of American adults who need medication don’t take it because
it’s too expensive. Passing Build Back Better will help us finally keep
prices down and get people the care they need.

to encourage the immediate passage of the Build Back Better Act.

There are so many examples of Big Pharma hammering patients with never
ending price increases and putting families in an impossible situation --
do they pay for the medication they can’t afford or go without the
medication they know they need? In the Build Back Better Act, we work to
address some of the most egregious abuses.

For example, once the act is signed into law, those who need insulin would
pay no more than $35 per month out of pocket with their insurance. Right
now, insulin can cost up to $1,000 per month. Big Pharma doesn’t care that
this is a life-saving drug that has been used to treat diabetes for nearly
100 years because what they care most about is making money for their
shareholders.

This is just one example, but we all know that this happens all the time
with Big Pharma. It’s long overdue that we get real prescription drug
reform across the finish line. I won’t stop fighting until we do.

[ [link removed] ]Please, add your name to our petition and let’s pass Build Back Better
with RX drug reform.

There’s a lot of work to do, but I know together, we can get it done.

Thanks for adding your name to this fight,

Peter
