Big news today in the fight to #PayLessforRx. The @WhiteHouse has officially released the results of having Medicare negotiate prices for its 10 costliest drugs in Medicare-getting 38% to 79% reductions from the 2023 list price. @FamiliesUSA's statement: familiesusa.org/press-releas…

Medicare has reached agreements with manufacturers of all 10 drugs selected for drug price negotiation.
That means the prices of these ten drugs will be cut 40% to 80%.
And folks, this is only the first ten.
We're not stopping here.

Exciting news! @CMSGov has officially released the negotiated rates for the 10 costliest drugs in Medicare. We are seeing new prices ranging from 38% to 79% lower than the list price in 2023, providing needed relief for millions of older Americans and people with disabilities. Today’s announcement proves that when our policymakers are willing to stand up to big drug corporations, progress is possible. #PayLessForRX

"Many people who rely on prescription drugs for their health are forced to make the choice between filling their prescription or filling their refrigerator because of the cost." Today's Judiciary hearing “Ensuring Affordable & Accessible Medications: Examining Competition in the Prescription Drug Market” is incredibly important & timely. #PayLessForRX

Today, @CMSGov made their initial offers to the big drug companies that make the 10 drugs up for price negotiations. While the amount is private, this is a vital step against the industry gaming & price gouging that is wreaking havoc on families’ health and wallets. #PayLessForRX
