Now, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which holds Big Pharma accountable for raising their prices faster than inflation and which enables Medicare to negotiate for lower prices on the most expensive medicines in Part D is threatening those profits. The new law lowers drug prices and makes medicines affordable for millions of seniors and people with disabilities.
Drug corporations won’t give up big profits without a fight. Merck, Bristol Myers Squibb, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Boehringer Ingelheim, AstraZeneca, Novartis, and Novo Nordisk as well as mega lobbying group PhRMA and the US Chamber of Commerce are suing Medicare to and trying to overturn the law. We can’t let them win! Join us in telling Big PhRMA to drop their lawsuits and start negotiating lower prices.
