why are medicines so expensive?

 

For its 20 top-selling drugs, Big Pharma makes more money in the U.S. than in every other country on Earth combined.

Why are Americans forced to pay so much more for critical medicines? One reason and one reason only: pharmaceutical company greed.

Senator Elizabeth Warren just sent a letter to the Biden administration outlining how it can fight Big Pharma’s immoral price gouging without interference from Republican obstructionists (or corporate Democrats) in Congress.

The letter outlines three tools — “government patent use power,” “royalty-free license,” and “march-in rights” — that the Biden administration already has the power to use to break through patent barriers and accelerate competition.

Join Senator Elizabeth Warren in urging the Biden Administration to use its existing authority and provide relief for the millions of Americans held hostage to Big Pharma’s price gouging.

Add your name now.

Thank you for taking action.

For progress,

- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
