Lowering prescription drug costs
I am committed to advancing legislation that empowers the government to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies, ensuring that we can lower prescription drug prices and make healthcare more affordable for all.
I will work towards expanding provisions, like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA,) that allowed for Government to negotiate directly with Pharmaceutical companies, successfully resulting in a cap on insulin prices [at $35 dollars] and placing a limit on out-of-pocket prescription drug prices for Medicare recipients (to take effect in 2026).
Securing Medicare and Medicaid
Critical programs like Medicare and Medicaid must remain strong and reliable. I will prioritize protecting access to healthcare for our seniors, individuals with disabilities, and low-income families.No one should have to worry about their healthcare coverage, especially when they need it most.
