Mar 31, 2022

Washington, D.C. – Democrats in the House just BLOCKED H.R. 19, the Lower Costs, More Cures Act, which would lower the costs of prescription drugs for Americans without limiting access to cures or hurting medical innovation.

Democrats in the House would rather attempt to revive their socialist drug pricing scheme than work with Republicans to lower costs for Americans on ALL prescription drugs, including insulin. ?

Here are the details of the bipartisan solution for LOWER COSTS that House Democrats just blocked:

Rep. Larry Bucshon (R-IL):

On H.R. 6833: “The bill before us today is just another attempt by Democrats in Washington to pass a political solution and set socialist price controls.”On H.R. 19: “I am a doctor...I have an acute understanding of how expensive prescription drugs are and the need for Congress to act.

"Thankfully, there is a better way. H.R. 19, the Lower Costs, More Cures Act is a truly bipartisan solution to lower ALL costs of prescription drugs, including insulin."

Rep. Brett Guthrie (R-KY):

“The Lower Costs, More Cures Act would help patients, including seniors, afford monthly insulin prescriptions without discouraging future investments in breakthrough medications.”

Rep. Buddy Carter (R-GA):

“We aren’t talking about the bipartisan solutions that currently exist, like the Lower Costs, More Cures Act, H.R. 19. That’s what we ought to be talking about.”
