β€œIf it cost me anywhere from $600 to $1,000 per month out of pocket, I would not be able to afford it.”

Every other country negotiates drug prices with Big Pharma but, until the passage of the 2022 Prescription Drug Law, the US didn't. Now, drug companies are pushing back against Medicare negotiation to protect their profits. We can't let pharma greed continue to limit patient access: FightPharma.org

YouTube video by Health Care Voices Drug Prices Could SKYROCKET 62% for Seniors - What You Need to Know!

If Big Pharma's lawsuits against the Medicare drug price negotiations succeed, seniors will pay on average 62% more for their drugs. Millions will struggle to afford the prescription drugs they need.
