According to a recent Gallup poll, 18 million Americans say they were recently unable to pay for at least one prescription medication for their household. And in households with an annual income of $24,000 that number triples. This is a public health crisis.
Working people are relying on elected leaders to help them. That is why in 2018 Ro joined Senator Bernie Sanders and introduced The Prescription Drug Price Relief Act to attack price gouging by big pharma.
The government gives an exclusive monopoly to pharmaceutical companies, and those companies should not be robbing the American public by forcing them to pay the highest prescription drug prices in the world.
You should never have to make the choice between lifesaving prescription medication and breaking the bank.
When families can afford necessities like child care, education, and prescription drugs, life ends up being a bit easier.
