Tell Congress to Pass the Lowering Drug Costs for American Families Act

It’s time to expand these savings to even more families no matter where they get their insurance.

Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which lowers prices of prescription drugs by:

  • Giving Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices
  • Reining in big drug companies’ price hikes
  • Limiting seniors’ out-of-pocket costs
  • Capping the cost of insulin at $35/month
  • Providing free vaccines for seniors

The “The Lowering Drug Costs for American Families Act” (HR4895) would extend those protections to millions of Americans with private insurance, not just those covered by Medicare.

“Once again, Democrats in Congress are tackling the issues that matter most to Americans worried about the high cost of health care. Americans pay up to four times more for the same drugs as people in other countries, forcing people to cut pills in half or skip doses altogether. The Inflation Reduction Act has been a remarkable step forward to rein in Big Pharma’s greed, cap drug costs for seniors, and finally give Medicare the power to negotiate lower prices. More than 80 percent of Americans support the Inflation Reduction Act’s Medicare negotiation program, making it one of the most popular policies in recent history. It’s time to expand these savings to even more families no matter where they get their insurance.”
