“Huffington Post: Bernie Sanders, Al Franken and Sherrod Brown Quietly Owned Trump On High Drug Prices”
Big pharma’s pricing is out of control. It is one of the most profitable sector of our economy. And unfortunately, if you’re sick, you rely on it.It is wrong to force sick people to choose between their medicine or their mortgage. But big pharma is putting too many Americans in the uncomfortable position of either making ends meet or getting treatment.
Al wants to fix this. He is challenging the Trump administration with his colleagues, Senator Bernie Sanders and Senator Sherrod Brown. They’re proposing fixes like importing safe prescription drugs from Canada where prices are cheaper and expanding federal funding for clinical trials.
Al wants to fix this. He’s working with Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Sherrod Brown and other colleagues to address the problem, including by allowing Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices.
This isn’t a partisan thing. This is common sense and easy to understand. Many Democrats and Republicans alike strongly support it.
Al knows that big pharma’s impact is real. If you’re with Al, add your name here.
Thanks,
Team Franken
