The federal government is the largest purchaser of prescription drugs, yet it can't negotiate prices.
A proposed drug pricing plan in President Biden’s Build Back Better bill would change this -- saving an estimated $450 billion over 10 years, and lowering costs for everyone.
Big Pharma is scrambling to stop this measure and keep charging sky-high prices. And centrist Democrats are threatening to join Republicans and kill drug price negotiation.
Politico reported that Pfizer’s CEO sent out a company-wide email to mobilize staff against the measure.
The emailed video included a link labeled “CLICK HERE To e-mail your Member of Congress today.”
A disclaimer at the bottom read : “Participation in any Pfizer Grassroots mobilization is completely voluntary and is not a requirement of your employment at Pfizer.”
Today, we are showing that the people are more powerful than Pfizer by sending thousands of letters of our own to Congress.
Thanks for taking action.
Progressive Reform Network.
