Klobuchar Statement on Announcement of the First Prescription Drugs Subject to Medicare Negotiations to Lower Prices
Statement
Issues: Health and Health Care
"The cost of prescription drugs is simply too high. For too long, big drug companies have put their profits ahead of the well-being of millions of Americans who need life-sustaining medications. That is why I have worked for years to end the big drug companies' sweetheart deal that artificially raised prices at the expense of our seniors. Today, we took a historic step toward lowering the price of some of the most widely-used, costly medications with the announcement of the first batch of drugs that will be subject to price negotiations with Medicare. I'll keep fighting to make sure that all Americans can access the medications they need."
