As Oregon families deal with skyrocketing costs for everyday necessities like prescription drugs, we’re fighting to hold these companies accountable and put money back in the pockets of Oregonians – and winning.
AG Rayfield has successfully secured patient relief over inflated drug prices – holding accountable pharmaceutical corporations who were caught secretly conspiring to drive up prices to pad their profits. Oregon and a bipartisan, multistate coalition are working together to return some of the money to the people who paid for it, after a federal court granted preliminary approval of the plan this month.”While families have been forced to decide between buying food and paying for medicine, we had giant pharmaceutical companies helping each other make enormous profits off the backs of struggling consumers,” said Attorney General Rayfield. “We took on this fight to hold those companies accountable, and Oregonians who paid the price deserve to get their money back.”

Read more about what happened and why it matters here in Oregon.
What happened: AG Rayfield has successfully blocked the federal administration’s unlawful attempt to gut essential health, education, and social service programs for low-income families. A federal court sided with the multistate coalition to block sweeping rules that threatened programs like Head Start, Title X family planning clinics, food banks, domestic violence shelters, adult education, and community health centers.Why this matters in Oregon: This ruling means Head Start programs will not be forced to close, which would have put childcare and early learning at risk for nearly 4,800 children across the state. Oregon would also have lost over $3.1 million annually in Title X funding, cutting off access to reproductive and preventive health care for more than 2,200 low-income individuals.
