AARP has been fighting for decades to make prescription drugs more affordable, which is why we pushed so hard for drug pricing provisions in the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.

I am grateful for the AARP partnership. Those e-mails helped, and those letters and those calls and all the conversations we had.

No one, and especially seniors living on fixed incomes, should have to choose between buying groceries and taking lifesaving medication.

We can and we must do better, and now, thanks to action in Congress, we are going to do better.

We are going to ensure that all seniors receive all their vaccines at $0 cost sharing, free, free.

No senior should be forced to choose between paying for life saving medication or keeping their lights on.

If you are able to be healthier because you are able to take your medications, you are going to be a more productive member of society.

Medicare is a sacred promise. It is a promise of guaranteed access to health care after a lifetime of hard work.

Finally, cap prescription drug price increases to no greater than the rate of inflation.

Thank you. Mr. Klein, I know you work with so many seniors and you are going to be able to maybe put some of your financial resources or some of the magic that you do to help those thousands of seniors every year.

It will remove stress and burden from providers because you don't want to go in with the disappointing news, so that is going to make your ability to care for patients so much better.

I am so excited to see the improvement in quality of life that our seniors are going to have.

This new law will do just this, finally, finally allow Medicare to negotiate for the best price of prescription drugs.

We want to keep them from moving, if we can, to a nursing home or some of those, and keep them either independent or with their family where it is much better.

That is fantastic. You are going to get the last question because speaking of advocacy, AARP, really, you are the big umbrella organization looking at all of these things, and so how are you going to help everyone here today be sure that…

I have one more question for you. Well, we have a bunch more to go through, but I was a caregiver for my parents and in-laws as they aged, so I understand that aspect, but have you seen the high cost of prescription drugs?

Thank you, Senator Rosen and the congressional Democrats, for working to pass this legislation, which is critical.

Finally, cap seniors' insulin costs at $35 per month.
