NEW: Congress reached a deal to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices.
THANK YOU, ACTIVISTS, who sent 300K emails & 9K calls to Member offices in the last few days.
AARP members were clear: We won’t stand for paying the highest Rx prices in the world.

This is a win for seniors, but we still need to dive into the details.
Like before, we won’t be shy with our feedback. Our members WILL be watching.
PhRMA may try to reverse these gains but know this: We will not back down until every American can afford the medicine they need.
VERY BIG NEWS: Congress is on a pathway to finally let Medicare negotiate lower drug prices! THANK YOU Congresswoman @lucymcbath for being a champion on this issue! See AARP's statement below from CEO Jo Ann Jenkins. https://t.co/TBWEo3eWNz
