Estoy orgulloso de unirme al Senador Merkley para presentar este proyecto de ley y ayudar a los habitantes de Vermont a obtener la atenci\u00f3n que necesitan\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cIn the wealthiest nation on earth, no one should have to choose between buying groceries and affording the medications they need to survive,\u201d <strong>dijo Dingell.<\/strong> \u201cThere\u2019s no reason we should be spending more on prescriptions than any other country. This legislation will help to bring down the cost of prescription drugs, hold drug companies accountable for their unchecked greed, and provide much-needed relief to American families.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>On average, Americans spend over\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/data.oecd.org\/healthres\/pharmaceutical-spending.htm#indicator-chart\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$1,400 on prescription drugs every year<\/a>\u2014the highest per capita drug spending in the world\u2014largely because the pharmaceutical industry is hiking up the cost of drugs to make billions in profits each year. The American people want action, and lowering prescription drug prices to levels obtained in nations similar to the United States has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arnoldventures.org\/resources\/national-targeted-cd-registered-voter-surveys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strong bipartisan support<\/a>. This includes medication such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ozempic, which costs Americans nearly $13,000 annually to treat type 2 diabetes compared to roughly $820 in Japan; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Humira, which costs Americans with Crohn\u2019s disease more than $100,000 per year compared to roughly $3,320 per year in Austria.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike Trump\u2019s recent executive order (EO) on international reference pricing, which only applies to Medicare and Medicaid, the <em>Ley para poner fin a la especulaci\u00f3n de precios de medicamentos<\/em> goes further by requiring drug companies to offer prescription drugs at the established reference price to all individuals in the U.S. market, regardless of insurance or health care status. That includes individuals utilizing all federal health programs,uninsured individuals, individuals covered under a group health plan, or individuals who have purchased their own health insurance coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to Merkley, Welch, Sanders, and Dingell, the <em>Ley para poner fin a la especulaci\u00f3n de precios de medicamentos <\/em>is co-sponsored by U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL). The bicameral bill is endorsed by Public Citizen, Center for Health and Democracy, Just Care USA, Center for Medicare Advocacy, and Social Security Works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cAmerican consumers pay far too much for drugs, not because it is costly to manufacture them, or even because of the expense of research and development. We pay too much because the U.S. government grants patents and other monopolies to brand-name drug corporations and then does far too little to rein in Big Pharma\u2019s exploitation of those monopolies to price gouge consumers and the government itself. If President Trump were serious about bringing U.S. drug prices down to levels in other countries, he would embrace this legislation and use the bully pulpit to urge legislators to support it instead of retrograde proposals to take away health care from millions of people to give tax cuts to billionaires and corporations. We applaud Senators Merkley, Sanders and Welch for their leadership,\u201d <strong>said Peter Maybarduk, Director of Public Citizen\u2019s Access to Medicines Program.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no good reason Americans should be forced to pay as much as four times more for our drugs than people in France, Japan and Canada. Senator Merkley, Senator Welch, Ranking Member Sanders, and Representative Dingell\u2019s \u2018<em>Ley para poner fin a la especulaci\u00f3n de precios de medicamentos<\/em>\u2019 legislation recognizes that monopoly pricing by drug corporations is killing tens of thousands of Americans each year and driving countless more into medical debt. It rightly calls for fair drug pricing, which is essential to our health and well-being,\u201d <strong>said Diane Archer, President of Just Care USA.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThe reason Americans pay higher prescription drug prices than other countries is because big drug and insurance companies, and their armies of lobbyists, work overtime to ensure their monopolies are protected and their CEOs continue to get massive compensation packages. It is far past time that Congress acts to rein in the out-of-control cost of what Americans have to pay for life-saving medications.
