Drug corporations and their powerful Pharma lobbyists continue to stand in the way of our health and economic security by dramatically jacking up prices to boost profits, forcing people to make stark choices between medicine and other basic necessities.
Every day we learn about people who are dying because they cannot afford life-saving medicines and so they ration what they have, go into debt, forgo medication, or try to use alternatives that do not help or are even harmful. People have to choose between necessities like housing and food and the medicine they need to live. Many are helpless as they watch loved ones suffer without the medicine they need to get better.
President Trump promised to lower drug costs but, at the same time, he is pandering to Big Pharma with a trade deal that locks in high drug costs for the next decade in the NAFTA 2.0 (USMCA).
It's time to fix this broken system. That's why on August 20, Health Care for All - WA joins organizations, advocates, and patients coming together to demand that lawmakers take serious action to lower drug prices so that people everywhere can finally get the affordable medicines they need.
In Washington State, we're fortunate to have Senators and Congressional representatives who want to see lower drug prices. Sens. Murray and Cantwell, and Reps. Jayapal, Smith, and Schrier have been invited to speak.
Co-sponsors include: 350 Seattle, Health Care for All -- WA, Health Care is a Human Right, Occupy Bellingham, Physicians for a National Health Program -- Western WA, Puget Sound Advocates for Retirement Action, Washington CAN!, Washington Fair Trade Coalition, Washington State Alliance for Retired Americans, Washington State Labor Council.
