Keeping Our Republic

The American people are also depending on Congress to continue to advance legislation that will make a difference in their lives.

The out-of-control price of prescription drugs is an issue that touches every family in America. Last month, House Democrats put forward transformational legislation to reduce drug prices for every American: the Lower Drug Costs Now Act (H.R.3).This sweeping legislation gives the HHS Secretary powerful tools to negotiate lower drug prices, stops drug companies from ripping off Americans while charging lower prices in other countries for the same drugs, creates a $2,000 out-of-pocket limit on drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries, and creates a Medicare inflation rebate that reverses years of unfair price hikes above inflation.

We will continue to advance bold legislation For The People, at the same time as we prayerfully, thoughtfully and somberly pursue the facts and defend the Constitution.
