Political Quotes

“The skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs are forcing families to make impossible choices every day. No one in America should have to decide between putting food on the table and paying for the lifesaving medication their children need, but pharmaceutical corporations will keep raising their prices for one simple reason: because they can. There are a number of things that we can do, and number one is negotiate prescription drug prices under Medicare; number two, shed light on the pharmaceutical corporations' drug pricing system; number three, end patent system abuse by eliminating tactics that thwart competition; number four, allow safe importation of prescription drugs from other countries; and number five, ensure access to affordable drugs through fair trade agreements. Lukewarm pharma-friendly approaches just won't work. Failing to take truly meaningful action could mean the difference between life and death. ____________________”
