Health Advocates,

With the Senate back in session, and Sen. Joe Manchin having previously cast some doubt on the passage of Build Back Better, we must continue to keep the pressure on to ensure major priorities, like prescription drug reform, remain strong and are included in the final bill that is signed into law by President Biden. With legislative sessions starting in states and COVID-19 continuing to up end everything, we know that we all have a lot on our plates. Please find resources for your advocacy below!
