Americans should not have to pay more for our medicines than what Big Pharma charges for the same drugs overseas – and that is why we are proud that H.R. 3 finally gives Medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices and makes those lower prices available to millions of Americans with private insurance. H.R. 3 represents the most expansive improvement to Medicare since its creation, as we reinvest more than half-a-trillion dollars in historic new vision, dental and hearing benefits for Medicare.
