Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to pass H.R. 3!

H.R. 3, the House Democratic bill, is a bold plan to bring down drug prices.

But Big Pharma is trying to kill it in the Senate. We can't let that happen.

Senate Democrats are crafting their own proposal to lower prescription drug prices, an alternative to Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) plan, amid doubts about whether the far-reaching House bill can get all 50 Senate Democrats on board.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is taking the lead in working on the proposal, but Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer’s (D-N.Y.) staff has also been meeting with outside groups and is engaged on the issue, according to people familiar with the conversations.

The flurry of activity indicates that lowering prescription drug prices is a top priority for Democrats and could be included in an upcoming legislative package along with President Biden’s priorities on infrastructure and other issues in the American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan.

But the party will have to figure out how to bridge the divide between their progressive and moderate wings on drug prices, given that they cannot lose a single Senate Democrat on party-line votes. . . .

Hawley and Blunt would not vote to pass anything that is not excreted from Trump's filled diapers.

Jesus Christ himself could come back to Earth for the sole purpose of getting them to vote "Aye" and they would try to re-crucify him as an illegal immigrant socialist.
