We Will Lower
Prescription Drug Costs

As, I travel around Montana, from Great
Falls, to Libby, to Miles City, one of the biggest concerns I hear is
how Montana families, our moms, dads, grandpas and grandmas, are
paying way too much for the prescription drugs they need.
As a Montana's
lone voice on the U.S. Senate Finance Committee, I voted Thursday to
pass major bipartisan prescription drug pricing reform to lower the costs
of prescription drugs for Montanans and save the taxpayers billions
of dollars.

in Helena
It has been one of my top priorities to lower
prescription drug costs for Montanans. I worked hard to help craft this major
drug pricing reform package, and I’m proud to have voted for it
Thursday moving it one step closer to reality.
This
legislative package will:
- Save Montanans and taxpayers more
than $100 Billion
- Lower Medicare beneficiaries' out-of-pocket costs
by $27 billion
- Lower premiums by $5 billion
- Increase transparency in
the complex drug pricing system

I was pleased that the AARP applauded my
leadership on reducing prescription drug costs.
As your voice in Washington
D.C. I will always fight for what is best for Montana. Lowering
prescription drug costs will lift the unnecessary burdens off our working
families and our seniors. I am proud to lead this fight on behalf of you
and all of Montana.
