Hi John,

Yesterday, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 3, the Lower Drug Costs Now Act. The bill would give Medicare the power to negotiate prices with pharmaceutical companies. 

With over 6 million senior citizens on Medicare, Californians would benefit greatly from this bill. In total, it’s projected to save the program $450 billion. And it’s not just Medicare recipients -- these savings would be passed on to all Americans, making lower-priced drugs more widely available.

Will you join me in calling on the Senate to pass H.R. 3 so we can lower the out-of-control prices of prescription drugs?

In recent years, the out-of-control pricing on pharmaceuticals has been a severe financial strain on seniors and others. We’ve seen people going without life-saving medication and rationing their prescriptions.

John, this is just wrong. That’s why I support H.R. 3. It’s time to bring some common sense back to our drug pricing, and ensure that no one has to go without medication they need to live. 

Although the bill has passed in the House, it now has to go to the Senate, where Mitch McConnell has already said he’ll refuse to consider it. So, we’re speaking out. We’ve started this petition to send the message that the American people are sick of pharmaceutical companies making life-saving drugs unaffordable. Will you join us?

Tell the Senate to pass H.R. 3 and lower the out-of-control prices of prescription drugs. Add your name here >>

Thanks for being with us,

Chris
