Another market solution is negotiation. If the Federal Government were allowed to negotiate more competitive drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries, then prices would come down.

The high cost of prescription drugs is a huge problem. Let's talk about the best way to tackle this public health crisis.

Your industry isn't based on competitive markets. It's based on totally artificial taxpayer granted monopolies.

But drug competition from Canada, price negotiation, are market solutions. They're not government mandates.

If companies like Equifax do not pay us to sell our information to other people, then we should not have to pay them to stop selling it.

consumers should be able to control their own data, and without consumer control, credit reporting companies really have no reason to treat us well.

So you would be in favor of drug importation from any place that's not doing what you call price control?

If the restrictions that prevent purchasers from importing the exact same drugs at lower prices from places like Canada were removed, we'd see some real competition, and we'd see some lower prices.

The law says five, 5 years of exclusivity, but drug companies game the system.

The consumer should decide when to release that credit record information to others.

I have introduced the FREE Act with Senator Schatz and more than a dozen other Senators.
