Call your U.S. Representatives NOW to tell them to support H.R. 3, the Lower Drug Costs Now Act!

As drug prices have risen, insurers are shifting costs to consumers, and families are being harmed. Across the country, families are at risk for poor health outcomes because impossibly high drug prices are preventing them from filling the prescriptions they need to maintain their health.

As of January of 2019, the prices on more than 250 prescription drugs increased by 6 percent or more. We cannot stand silent as this continues. Our lawmakers need to take action to lower prescription drug prices. Their top priority must be to address the outrageous list prices that manufacturers charge, which drive higher costs throughout the system. We also need lawmakers to bring costs and prices under control throughout the entire supply chain, including wholesale distributors, Pharmacy Benefit Managers, insurers and other payers, and retail pharmacies.

Kaiser Family Foundation found that 3 in 10 people across the country skip doses or refrain from filling prescriptions altogether due to high costs. The repercussions are horrendous, leading to deteriorating health for family members trying to treat diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and other chronic conditions. Our nation deserves better and we need to rein in rising prescription drug prices, which will save the lives of countless Americans. We need Congress to pass H.R 3 now.

SAMPLE SCRIPT (feel free to riff)

“Hi, my name is Friend and I’m a constituent. I'm calling to urge my representative to support lowering prescription drug costs.

TALKING POINTS YOU CAN USE IN YOUR CONVERSATION:

This reform would let Medicare negotiate lower drug prices for people on Medicare and people on private insurance. Medicare used to be able to negotiate lower drug prices, until Republicans banned Medicare from doing so in 2003 to protect Big Pharma’s profits. Since then, drug prices have skyrocketed.
Non-partisan experts found Medicare negotiating lower drug prices could reduce prices as much as 55 percent for consumers.
Drug corporations are making record-breaking profits because they’re hiking up drug prices five times higher than they should.
9 in 10 people want Congress to grant Medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices.
