Dear Friend,

Finally, some great news! The U.S. Senate has come to an agreement on a
bill that will rein in Big Pharma’s price gouging, help millions of people
keep their health insurance, tax mega-corporations, and lower carbon
emissions.

What’s happening? This week, the U.S. Senate is set to vote on the
Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, a massive tax and investment plan, that
will help make our tax system more fair, support and build up the health
care of underserved communities, and tackle the climate crisis!

The proposed legislation will be a historic win for families and our
future! It tackles some critical issues:

* Making prescription drugs more affordable: The bill removes an unfair
legal prohibition that has long prevented Medicare from negotiating
lower drug prices which has driven them sky-high. It will also
penalize drug companies that raise prices faster than the rate of
inflation and place a cap on Medicare recipients’ out-of-pocket
prescription drug costs at $2,000 each year. It’s estimated that the
government will raise $300 billion by reining in drug prices.
* Extending subsidies for people who buy their own insurance: The bill
lowers health care premiums by extending financial assistance for ACA
plans under the American Rescue plan for three years. It’s estimated
that 9 million Americans would have been paying significantly higher
premiums, and more than 3 million people would have become uninsured
altogether, without this provision.
* Making sure corporations pay their fair share: A 15% corporate profits
minimum tax so wealthy corporations don’t get away with paying $0 in
federal income taxes on billions of dollars in profits. It’s estimated
that this tax will raise about $450 billion dollars and reduce the
deficit. In addition, this bill closes the carried interest loophole—a
favorite loophole of private equity, real estate, and hedge fund
managers—and in doing so raises $14 billion.
* Taking decisive action on the climate crisis: Invests $370 billion
into energy and climate which will allow the U.S. to lower greenhouse
gas emissions by 40%, an incredibly meaningful step in combating
climate change.

Dear Congress,

We urge you to vote YES on the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. This
legislation includes several provisions that will boost families and
create a better future for our children. Specifically, we support the
provisions that:

* Lower drug prices by allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices and
capping out of pocket costs at $2,000 each year;
* Extend the Marketplace subsidies that help people who buy their own
health insurance get coverage;
* Ensure mega-corporations start paying their fair share of taxes; and
* Invest in energy and climate provisions that will help us reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by 40%.

We also urge you to reject proposed amendments that target
immigrants—who are critical to our care infrastructure, economy, and
communities—or amendments that weaken the legislation in any way.

Reduction Act of 2022!

It has been a long, hard road to get here and even after this bill passes,
the fight will continue. (Of course!) We are so grateful for the hundreds
of thousands of actions our MomsRising members have taken to push this
Congress to make big, monumental change—and we will keep fighting for
families together. We still need to make major investments in childcare,
maternal health, home care, the Child Tax Credit, and paid family and
medical leave, as well as closing the Medicaid gap and protecting
immigrant families, who are critical to our care infrastructure and
communities.

The more people who speak out, the bigger our impact. Please take a moment
to share our action link with your friends and family:
