Friend: If you do not believe the government should control the price of prescription drugs, then you must make your voice heard.
The pandemic has shown that the way to get Americans more and quicker access to life-saving drugs and treatments is to get the government out of the way.
Innovation is driven by competition and free markets, not the government. This is a lesson Washington always forgets.
The federal government has repeatedly fumbled important healthcare issues:
- Despite $83 BILLION in funding for COVID-19 testing, the government failed for almost a year to give Americans access to affordable rapid test on demand
- 1 out of every 5 Medicaid dollars was misspent by Washington over the last two years costing taxpayers $143 billion
- Obamacare has increased the average health insurance premium by over 130%. Healthcare price controls enacted by Obamacare are the reasons premiums are high and access to doctors is shrinking.
A government takeover of our medicine cabinets is a prescription for disaster.
This is why we have launched a petition to force your elected officials to vote against any consideration of drug pricing controls. But we need 100,000 signatures to make them think twice about ignoring your demands.
