Letters to the Editor: Tell President Biden to Lower Prescription Drug Prices

Millions of patients (one in four Americans to be exact) are struggling to afford the medication they need to stay healthy and alive. We know that people of color disproportionately bear this burden. And we also know that at the same time, Big Pharma continues to drive up prices, for no other reason than to pad their pockets.

Congress knows how important action on this issue is, which is why we are continuing to fight alongside our champions for strong reforms to lower prescription drugs in the reconciliation bill. However, President Biden also has the authority to unilaterally lower drug prices right now. We need both legislative and executive action to meaningfully save patients money and get them the medicines they need!

We need President Biden to use existing legal authorities to dramatically lower costs of essential drugs like insulin, drugs that reverse opioid overdoses, hepatitis C drugs, HIV/AIDS drugs, cancer treatments, EpiPens, asthma inhalers, and COVID-19 treatments. Fill out the form to submit a letter to the editor to your local paper urging President Biden to use executive action to lower prescription drug prices now & urge your neighbors to get involved in the fight.
