AFFORDABLE MEDICINE FOR ALL
A Plan to Slash Drug Prices and Boost Medical Innovation

We are living in a golden age of medical innovation. Medicines have vastly extended life expectancy for people with Hodgkin's lymphoma and cystic fibrosis, protected us from many viruses and certain cancers, and put us within reach of ending the AIDS epidemic for good.

Yet, far too many of us are denied access to the benefits of these breakthrough treatments and potentially life-saving medicines.1 Drugs in the United States are more expensive than drugs anywhere else in the world.2 Americans pay an average of $600 a year more for prescription drugs than residents of most other developed countries.3 While millions of Americans struggle to pay for medicine, pharmaceutical companies are enjoying record profits and remain the most profitable companies in the entire health industry.

I hope at the same time we can cap the premiums on drug coverage, which is also increasing.

4. We do medical innovation fine

Our healthcare system fails at delivery. Only those who can buy insurance and easily access providers receive healthcare and can take advantage of the innovations.
