U.S : Prescription drug prices are TOO HIGH.

 

 

 

Dear friend, sign the petition: Congress must lower prescription drug prices. SIGN THE PETITION           Drug prices in the U.S. are more than 2.5 times higher than in other countries. Drug prices are so high, in fact, that many people actually have to skip filling their necessary medications as they have become unaffordable. These soaring prices are driven by greedy drug companies. And as we struggled amid a global pandemic, Big Pharma raked it in, accumulating massive profits.   This is a monopoly and a health crisis -- Congress must step in to regulate these outrageous costs and reduce drug prices.       Sign the petition: Soaring drug prices are a health crisis that Congress must address.             SIGN THE PETITION           President Biden has vowed to lower prescription drug prices. And now, Congressional Democrats are focusing on HR 3, the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act, a measure that will allow the federal government to directly negotiate lower drug prices. We have a chance to pass this legislation with or without Republicans, and we must demand Congressional Democrats do just that. Democrats can and must attach this bill to the infrastructure and jobs package. This legislation will then have the chance to be passed via reconciliation and provide the relief from soaring drug prices we need while avoiding Republican roadblocks.       Sign the petition: Congress include HR 3 in the infrastructure package and address soaring, unaffordable drug prices in the U.S.           SIGN THE PETITION             Thanks for all you do,         Erin Tulley, Daily Kos.
