Tell Congress to pass the "Improving Access to Affordable Prescription Drugs Act"

So glad to see the Dems doing their jobs.


Tell Congress to pass the "Improving Access to Affordable Prescription Drugs Act"

This an email I got:

"Outrageous" doesn’t even begin to describe Big Pharma’s prescription drug price gouging problem.

For example, Mylan Pharmaceuticals increased the price of its EpiPen — which reverses deadly allergic reactions — by 500 percent.

This has gotten out of hand. The pharmaceutical industry is raking in huge profits at the expense of Americans who need their medications to survive.

It’s time for Congress to rein in drug companies. Tammy is joining members of the Senate to call for an end to this abusive practice. Add your name and stand up for Americans.

Right now, our system allows for massive greed to run rampant in the pharmaceutical industry. As a result, CEOs make millions of dollars, while Americans put off filling prescriptions because they can’t afford it.

We can change this. Tammy has been a leader in the Senate, introducing legislation that would demand transparency and accountability from drug companies. Now, we need the rest of her colleagues to join her.

Can you help us bring attention to this issue? Add your name.

Thank you,

Team Baldwin


Paid for by Tammy Baldwin for Senate
