- Millions of seniors, disabled vets and other individuals struggle with the outrageously high cost of prescription drugs.|
- Americans pay the highest prices in the world for medicine.
- Medicare needs to negotiate drug prices with the pharmaceutical industry.
- Drug companies should not be making billions of dollars in profits when 1 in 5 Americans cannot afford the treatments they need.
