Durbin, Grassley Introduce Bill To Require Price Transparency In Prescription Drug Advertisements
Issues: Health and Health Care
"Big Pharma spends billions each year to flood the airwaves with commercials that inflate spending by steering patients to the most expensive medications, despite cheaper, more effective drugs being on the market. What these ads don't tell you is how much that medication costs. Patients deserve to know the price of their medication, and a dose of transparency is the prescription Big Pharma needs. Senator Grassley has long been my partner in improving prescription drug price transparency, and with the DTC Act, we are continuing to push for this reform."
