Everyone knows that Americans pay too much for their prescription drugs, and something must be done. That is why I am pleased House Democrats are addressing the rising costs of these medications. We have passed legislation like H.R. 987 and H.R. 1503, both of which can lower the cost of prescription drugs by helping to bring a greater number of generic drugs to market, but we can't stop there. We must act boldly and in a bipartisan manner, Mr. Speaker, to confront the obstacles that stand between hardworking Americans and affordable prescriptions necessary for their well-being. In the wealthiest nation in the world, Mr. Speaker, no one should have to face these barriers to affordable, quality healthcare. ____________________
