Merkley tambi\u00e9n lidera la introducci\u00f3n de una resoluci\u00f3n del Senado para pedir al presidente que tome medidas urgentes para reducir los costos de los medicamentos recetados para los pacientes estadounidenses.<\/p>\n<p>La iniciativa de los legisladores se produce en un momento en que casi una cuarta parte de los adultos tiene dificultades para costear sus medicamentos y en que los estadounidenses gastan un promedio de $1,200 por persona al a\u00f1o en medicamentos recetados, una carga que se vuelve cada vez m\u00e1s pesada a medida que los impactos econ\u00f3micos y de salud de La crisis del coronavirus se profundiza. Mientras tanto, las compa\u00f1\u00edas farmac\u00e9uticas contin\u00faan cobrando a los pacientes en el extranjero precios considerablemente m\u00e1s bajos que los que cobran en Estados Unidos por los mismos medicamentos.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cEsta es una gran injusticia para el pueblo estadounidense, cometida por la vergonzosa manipulaci\u00f3n de los precios de los medicamentos y los abusos de patentes por parte de las compa\u00f1\u00edas farmac\u00e9uticas que benefician a los accionistas, no a los pacientes. Los estadounidenses han sido estafados por las compa\u00f1\u00edas farmac\u00e9uticas durante demasiado tiempo, y es hora de que un presidente finalmente haga frente a las compa\u00f1\u00edas farmac\u00e9uticas y defienda a los estadounidenses. Nuestra propuesta es simple: las compa\u00f1\u00edas farmac\u00e9uticas venden a los estadounidenses al mismo precio que venden a otras naciones desarrolladas\u201d.&nbsp;<b>escribieron los legisladores en su carta.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cEspec\u00edficamente, le instamos a tomar medidas a trav\u00e9s del Centro para la Innovaci\u00f3n de Medicare y Medicaid (CMMI) para establecer una demostraci\u00f3n de precios de referencia para alinear los precios de los medicamentos en Estados Unidos con los de otras naciones ricas, incluidos Canad\u00e1, el Reino Unido, Francia, Alemania, Jap\u00f3n y otros. Autoridades adicionales, como el uso de patentes gubernamentales y los derechos de entrada, facultan a su administraci\u00f3n para otorgar licencias de competencia gen\u00e9rica para remediar los precios excesivos.
