Dear John,
The Senate is expected to take a vote on legislation that would finally allow Medicare to negotiate the price of prescription drugs. If passed, this would be welcome news for seniors on fixed incomes and who are skipping medications because of prohibitive costs.
Please sign our Emergency Petition to the U.S. Senate today addressed to your U.S. Senators, urging them to vote FOR the Medicare prescription drug package that would give Medicare the authority to negotiate the prices of certain high-cost medications for the first time ever — and cap out-of-pocket spending on medicine for seniors at $2,000 a year!
Right now, Big Pharma and their allies in Congress are making a last-ditch effort to kill this important bill and ensure the massive profits and power of huge pharmaceutical corporations remain intact. That’s why we must make our voices heard louder than ever in Washington, DC!
Drug price negotiation could save the Medicare program some $288 billion over ten years and exert downward pressure on prescription prices in general. And so we need everyone who has ever fought for Medicare to sign our Emergency Petition today!
Sincerely,
|
