Americans have had to pay three times more for their medications than people in other countries pay for the same drugs.
With the impact of inflation on all of us, seniors who worked hard their entire lives to raise families, build this country and give back to their communities, shouldn’t have to choose between filling a prescription or buying gas and groceries.
AARP led the fight to lower drug prices for America’s seniors, and we won. Our members, activists and volunteers here in Pennsylvania and across the country stood up to the big drug companies’ army of lobbyists with their massive war chest and millions of dollars in misleading advertising, and we won. Few people thought it would get done, but we did it.
As sweet as this victory is, though, the fight isn’t over. Drug companies are already spending millions to overturn the new law and stifle competition so they can drive up their high profits and keep charging Americans the highest prices in the world for the drugs they need. AARP will keep fighting here in Pennsylvania and across the country, and we won’t back down until all Americans 50+ can afford their medication. It’s the right thing to do, and older Americans deserve nothing less.Note to readers: if you purchase something through one of our affiliate links we may earn a commission.
