“If it cost me anywhere from $600 to $1,000 per month out of pocket, I would not be able to afford it.” GLP-1s were life-changing for Ozempic patient Aarolyn, but the consistently high prices put them out of reach for patients like her across America.

🎉 Patients like Maureen are celebrating the $2,000 out-of-pocket cap on drug costs that went into effect in January of this year. Thanks to the 2022 prescription drug law, 11.3 million Americans are expected to benefit from this historic prevision and save money in 2025 alone!

Every other country negotiates drug prices with Big Pharma but, until the passage of the 2022 Prescription Drug Law, the US didn't. Now, drug companies are pushing back against Medicare negotiation to protect their profits. We can't let pharma greed continue to limit patient access: FightPharma.org

If Big Pharma's lawsuits against the Medicare drug price negotiations succeed, seniors will pay on average 62% more for their drugs. Millions will struggle to afford the prescription drugs they need. Watch Temi @p4ad.bsky.social: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQFH...
