Hello,
I once got a letter from a Vermonter who said, "I have a choice between paying for something I cannot afford, or risking a loss that I could never endure." Lifesaving drugs or health care aren’t helpful if Americans can’t afford them. Enough is enough. Every American has a right to affordable health care.
For the past 15 years, I’ve fought as Vermont’s Congressman to deliver relief for communities who aren’t afforded this right — and with your support I’ll continue to be on the front lines in the fight to cut the skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs and health care for all Americans.
For far too long pharmaceutical and insurance companies have had an iron grip on pricing life-saving and life-extending care options. Big Pharma has exercised far too much influence over the very treatments that can save lives. Instead of acting, we’ve seen lawmakers sit on the sidelines and decline to provide the urgent solutions communities need.
There are many common sense steps Congress can take to ease the burden of the cost of care. We can empower Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices, work to limit annual price increases, and ensure everyone has access to the care they need no matter where they live.
I’m proud to be in this fight with all of you. I’ll never stop fighting for patients, families, and communities to make sure this system works for people it’s supposed to serve.
It’s time we bring relief to millions of people. Thanks for sharing your story and joining me in this fight.
Peter
