Put a cap on it: (Out of control drug prices)

Prescription drugs are expensive, and they aren’t getting any cheaper.

While Social Security benefits remain flat, drug costs keep rising. Under health care reform, most people get some form of protection from sky-rocketing drug prices. But Medicare doesn't have those caps so drug prices are eating away at the fixed incomes of our seniors. It's time to do something about it.

That’s why I'm proposing a cap on prescription drug costs for seniors and will fight to pass it in the Senate. Add your name as a supporter today: Let’s cap drug costs for seniors!

We’ve got to put the well-being of patients ahead of profits. While drug companies and hedge fund speculators pursue a “how high can we get away with” approach to drug pricing, I’m going to keep fighting for lower costs and consumer protections.

Add your name today and let’s get drug prices under control!
