P4AD patient advocate Jackie relies on the 2022 prescription drug law's $2,000 cap on out of pocket costs to afford the medication she needs to survive. To learn more about the 2022 prescription drug law and how it's helping patients save money at the pharmacy, visit MedicareNegotiation.org

Brand-name drug companies file duplicative patents on a drug to maintain their monopoly pricing power. This patent tactic delays competition, keeps drug prices high, and makes it harder for patients to access lower cost medications. Join us in urging Congress to pass the ETHIC to stop Big Pharma’s abuse of the patent system: tinyurl.com/3bynbf37

P4ADNOW released a new video about the ETHIC Act; the Supreme Court ruled in favor of preserving a critical pathway that allows lower-cost alternatives to come to market; and TrumpRx announced 160 drugs added to the platform that link to other cash-discount programs.

We agree with Professor Michael Carrier. The ETHIC Act would help curb Big Pharma’s patent exploitation and bring lower-cost options to market sooner, bringing down drug prices for patients. Pharmaceutical companies often file duplicative patents on the same drug to make it harder for generic manufacturers to bring competitors to market, reducing options for patients. It’s time to hold Big Pharma accountable and pass the ETHIC Act!

It's time we rein in Big Pharma's abuse of the patent system. That’s why my colleagues should join my bill with @SenAmyKlobuchar and @SenHawleyPress so we can get more affordable generics on the market and save patients money at the pharmacy counter.

Congress is hearing from Big Pharma lobbyists right now. The question is whether they’ll also hear from you... Recently, patient advocates from across the country flew to D.C. to sit across from lawmakers and deliver a clear message: pass the ETHIC Act. One of them was Maureen, who traveled from Florida. She’d never done anything like this before. She walked into those meetings not knowing what to expect — just knowing she had to try. "These people work for us," she said after. "If we don't try, we might as well throw in the towel." Now it's our job to back her up. Contact your representative about supporting the ETHIC Act today: tinyurl.com/3bynbf37

💯 Big Pharma's abuse of the patent system doesn't just affect patients, it's causing harm to families and communities and must be stopped. The ETHIC Act would reduce drug company patent abuse by addressing double patenting but Big Pharma's lobbyists are hard at work against it. Fight back against Big Pharma greed!
