Tell the Interim Health Care Committee That North Dakotans Need Rx Price Relief

The average retail price for 143 widely used brand-name drugs has increased more than 300 percent over the past 15 years, while general inflation rose by 32 percent during that same period, according to a 2021 AARP report that analyzed the retail prices of those medications.

If prices for some basic consumer necessities — from milk to bread to a gallon of gas — rose as much as popular prescription drugs, many Americans wouldn't be able to put food on their table and would face the same dire choices that millions of older adults facing high prescription drug costs do every day.

Subject Ensure consumer voices are heard on Rx

Dear Decision Maker,

I am consumer who is concerned about the high cost of medicine. I am asking you to ensure that the voices of consumers are heard and considered during the interim prescription drug cost study.

Retail price increases for widely used brand name prescription drugs have consistently exceeded the rate of general inflation. These price hikes are unfair to consumers like me.

Message Body

Please listen to consumers as you study and propose solutions to address the costs of prescription drugs.

Thank you.
