Nationalize The Pharmaceutical Industry - Lower Drug Cost
Details:
Many Americans are currently cutting their drugs in half to spread out their use as they cannot afford to refill their prescriptions, thanks to these companies consistently spiking prices up because they know that many are forced to pay the cost no matter how high since their lives depend on the medications. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
We will lower drug cost and hold the pharmaceutical industry accountable to ensure that Americans can afford the medications they need.
Big Pharma lobbies our politicians to gain profits at our expense.. This campaign is only listening to working class Americans, no big donors! We are ready to fight for you to lower cost and prevent this issue from arising in the future by banning their lobbying efforts, getting their grip off our politics.
Key Points:
Start off by being able to negotiate to lower drug prices as big pharm companies currently spike prices only for more profit at the expense of vulnerable Americans.
Establish a publicly owned national pharmaceutical organization to oversee the development, production, and distribution of medications.
Focus on providing affordable access to essential medicines while prioritizing public health over profit.
Ensure that medications developed through taxpayer-funded research at universities and federal institutions (e.g., NIH grants) remain publicly owned and are not sold to private companies.
Set transparent, fair pricing for all medications based on production costs and public health needs.
Prevent exploitative pricing and patent abuse that forces Americans to pay inflated costs for lifesaving medications.
Expand public manufacturing facilities to produce generic versions of high-demand drugs at cost, reducing reliance on profit-driven pharmaceutical companies.
