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.

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.

Happy to join you Congressman! Families are struggling w/rising basic costs from corporate greed. Congress should focus on making the ultra wealthy & big corporations pay their fair share, not putting more financial strain on ordinary people by pushing them off health coverage.
