Today, we’re celebrating the announcement of the first 10 drugs to have prices negotiated by Medicare.
Tomorrow, we’ll keep fighting so that everyone can get affordable prices negotiated.

Health Care For America Now! Lower Drug Prices Now
#BigPharma is SUING Medicare to keep them from negotiating lower drug prices.
Today, we’re telling Merck to STOP suing & START negotiating.
Preventing Medicare from negotiating lower drug prices keeps people from taking the medication they need. Enough is enough.
Every day in our state someone skips a dose or cuts a pill in half just to save money. It's is unacceptable.
Today we're one step closer to making prescription drugs more affordable for New Jerseyans with legislation from Troy Singleton & Joe Vitale signed into law by Governor Phil Murphy
We're making sure the medicines that keep us healthy are within the affordable hands of the citizens who need them the most
That's why legislation from Troy Singleton was signed into law yesterday by Governor Phil Murphy - ensuring prescriptions are more accessible and affordable in New Jersey
Yesterday Governor Phil Murphy signed historic legislation that will make life-saving medicines more affordable for countless struggling New Jerseyans. Access to medicine is a basic human right, but drugs don't work if we can't afford them.

It's a historic day for New Jersey as Governor Phil Murphy signs bills that can bring Rx costs down for New Jerseayans, including the creation of a Prescription Drug Affordability Council.
Many thanks to Troy Singleton, John F. McKeon, Joe Vitale, AARP New Jersey and so many others!
Thank you to NJ's own Sen. Cory Booker, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman, and Rep. Congressman Donald Payne, Jr. for cosponsoring the LIFT the BAR Act to restore critical healthcare and social services for immigrant families. To #ProtectFamilies , your colleagues in Congress must join you and #LIFTtheBAR .
For these reasons & more we support Rep. Pramila Jayapal & Sen. Senator Mazie Hirono's the LIFT the BAR Act that restores access to programs like Medicaid, CHIP, & SNAP, by removing the 5-year bar & other barriers that deny critical care & aid to people who are lawfully present. Protecting Immigrant Families Coalition
A recent Community Catalyst report shows the great challenges of connecting immigrant communities with vital services like healthcare, from systemic barriers to lack of consideration in policy to uncertainty & fear that isolate these communities.
