House Democrats, including Frank Pallone and Sen. Peter Welch, are opposing Republican attempts to undermine efforts to lower prescription drug prices. Sen. Sanders has released a report on drug pricing practices ahead of a hearing with three pharmaceutical CEOs. Legislation has been introduced to help generic drugs enter the market and make medications more affordable. The CEOs of Merck, J&J, and Bristol Myers are facing scrutiny on drug pricing practices on Capitol Hill.

Today I led debate on the House floor in opposition to partisan legislation from Republicans that would open a backdoor for Big Pharma to undermine Democrats' efforts to lower prescription drug prices and empower Medicare to negotiate fair Rx prices for seniors. https://t.co/nz8kU2iXIu

I spoke at the House Rules Committee today in opposition to Republicans' latest attempt to undermine Democrats' work to lower prescription drug prices. Once again, the GOP is prioritizing Big Pharma's profits over the American people. https://t.co/MVcUI2tUkD
