For the first time ever, our government will stop Pharma corporations from charging as much as they want for life-saving and life-sustaining medications.
Next time you see a Republican crying crocodile tears about the deficit, remember that they voted against legislation that will save Medicare nearly $100 billion in the next decade. Republican politicians don’t care about the deficit, only about finding an excuse to reach into our pockets and steal our earned Social Security and Medicare benefits.
The Inflation Reduction Act has also already lowered Medicare beneficiaries’ insulin costs to $35 a month and made all critical vaccines available at no cost. All of this progress means more cash in seniors’ pockets, while promoting and protecting public health. That’s not the only threat to Medicare negotiation. The Republicans are only dancing to the tune the Pharma corporations and their allies at the Chamber of Commerce are calling. These Pharma corporations and their allies have already filed, claiming that they have the legal right to charge whatever they want for medications.
