Congress Needs to Hear from You – NOW!

Action Alert

For years, our patients have been struggling due to the rising cost of prescription drugs. Even prior to the pandemic, 1 in 4 Americans reported difficulty affording their medicines, and things have only gotten worse as the pharmaceutical industry continues to raise drug prices. As members of Doctors for America, we are united in our commitment to advocacy to lower prescription drug costs and to create a health system in our country that is universal, simple, and affordable. And it is due to that commitment that we were troubled by the news last week that U.S. Representatives Scott Peters (CA-52), Kathleen Rice (NY-04), and Kurt Schrader (OR-05) voted against healthcare measures in the Build Back Better Plan that would allow Medicare to negotiate the prices of prescription drugs.
