matters that affect the quality of our lives. The
most effective and least offensive manner to get

To the editor: Would you be
surprised to find the Americans pay among the highest prices in the
world for prescription drugs? (AARP Bulletin, May 2022). Studies
show that many of us skip taking one or more of our prescriptions
because we simply can't afford them. Meanwhile drug company profits
continue to soar.
Last December the Democrat controlled House of Representatives
passed President Biden's Build Back Better Act of 2021. That bill
included prescription drug price controls but Biden's bill was
stopped in the Republican controlled Senate where not a single
Republican Senator was willing to cast a vote of support.
[to top of second column in this letter] |
If you are concerned about high drug prices, consider
asking your Republican friends why they back a political party that
continues to block lower drug prices.
