Grassley: The Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act is Needed Now More than Ever
Prepared Floor Remarks by
U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa
Chairman, Senate Finance
Committee
Tuesday, June 2, 2020
The
coronavirus pandemic is disrupting our daily lives in unimaginable ways.
The
National Institutes of Health is working with a private sector biotech company
and have already began early stage human trials for a potential vaccine.
There’s
hope on the horizon.
However,
the soaring prices of prescription drugs are making lifesaving treatments and
cures simply unaffordable to many Americans.
This
pandemic makes two things clear. Americans urgently want a cure. And when
lifesaving therapies and cures come to market, Americans must be able to afford
them when their provider prescribes them.
My
bipartisan Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act is needed now
more than ever.
