Political Quotes

“I think veterans across this country would be upset to learn that at a time when we are giving multi-billion dollar tax breaks to wealthy corporations, we are in fact contemplating increasing the cost of prescription medications available to our veterans by a whooping 250 percent. We are in the process of increasing the copay for our veterans from $2 per prescription to $7 per prescription. Now, many veterans receive 10 or more prescriptions per month. Ten times seven is $70 a month. This is absolutely outrageous and unacceptable, when we are providing billions of dollars in tax breaks to profitable corporations, we would burden the veterans in our country by increasing the copay for their medications by 250 percent. This House should support my bill, H.R. 2820, which would freeze the copay for 5 years at its $2 per prescription level.”
