Rx prices have increased faster than inflation *every year* for at least the last decade.
The average person on Medicare takes 4 to 5 medications every month and has an income of just over $26,000 a year.
They simply can’t afford skyrocketing Rx prices.

H.R. 3 helps lower Rx prices for Americans 50+ and their families by
-Allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices
-Capping out-of-pocket costs for seniors in Part D plans
-Cracking down on relentless Rx price increases

Congress must seize the opportunity to strengthen & support Medicare with the cost savings from H.R. 3 by adding essential coverage: dental, hearing & vision.
The lack of coverage for this care can jeopardize the health of older Americans & drives up other health care spending.

It& #39;s long past time for Congress to take action to rein in high Rx prices.
We look forward to working with Congress to get H.R. 3 passed & add essential coverage to Medicare. http://spr.ly/6018HhaAp ">https://spr.ly/6018HhaAp...
