"Health care is still too expensive for too many working families, and the soaring cost of prescription drugs is one of the major reasons why. Today I joined doctors at @ChooseMemorial to announce my new bill to help curb these dramatic price hikes."

"Pfizer has increased the price of its drug for nerve pain, Lyrica, 433% in 13 years. Because Lyrica's govt-granted monopoly has protected it from lower-cost competitor drugs, Pfizer has been able to increase the price with impunity."

"Insulin was discovered nearly a century ago. How can Pharma continue to raise prices on this life-saving medication for patients with diabetes?"

"Next week I'll be introducing a bill that puts patients before Pharma and puts an end to price-gouging for drugs. The FLAT Prices Act targets abusive pharma companies by shortening FDA monopoly periods & bringing lower-cost generics to market sooner."
