Congress: Protect taxpayers, not big drug companies!

Big drug companies rip off American seniors by charging the highest prices in the world.

AARP advocates won our fight to lower prescription drug prices by letting Medicare negotiate its prices for the first time ever, getting a much better deal for patients and taxpayers alike. But big drug companies are pushing to delay these negotiations for some drugs, which would cost American taxpayers BILLIONS in savings.

Email your lawmakers now. Tell them to put American patients and taxpayers first — NOT big drug companies!

Dear Decision Maker,

Message Body

Please oppose the EPIC Act (H.R. 1492/S. 832), a new bill that would make it harder for Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for American seniors and taxpayers.

Medicare is finally beginning to negotiate lower prices, which will help both patients and taxpayers get a much better deal. Unfortunately, the EPIC Act (H.R. 1492/S. 832) would delay these negotiations for some drugs, letting pharmaceutical manufacturers continue setting outrageous and unjustified prices.

Across political parties, giving Medicare the power to negotiate drug prices is wildly popular. Voters know it will save them money and finally add some common sense to the way Medicare pays for medicines.

Americans’ hard-earned tax dollars have supported the development of nearly every FDA-approved drug in the past decade. And yet, Americans continue to pay the highest prices in the world for the medicines they need. It’s a broken system that is deeply unfair to the American people. Drug companies shouldn’t be allowed to keep telling Medicare what prices to set, it needs to be a negotiation.

Put American seniors and taxpayers first. Don’t let big drug companies delay Medicare price negotiations for any drugs.

Thank you,
