Re: [QUAD-L] Lower Medicare drug prices

Has the Senate are voted on this?

immediate action to lower the costs of prescription drugs. 

Several years ago, the Republican Congress passed a prescription drug program 
for seniors that actually prohibited Medicare from negotiating cheaper drug 
prices with the big drug companies.

That law locked in drug prices for seniors more than twice as high as many 
other countries – and huge profits for the pharmaceutical companies.

In January the new Democratic House voted to allow Medicare to use its 
bargaining power to get cheaper drugs for seniors.

Next week the Senate takes up a similar measure.

To make sure it passes, call your senators now. Tell them to vote to eliminate 
the drug company’s stranglehold on Medicare Drug prices and allow Medicare to 
negotiate lower prices for seniors. Click here and make the call:

The big pharmaceutical companies have spent millions to block this bill and 
keep drug prices high.  You can make the difference.  Don’t put it off. Call 
right now.
