Happy to be at the White House today celebrating historic prescription drug pricing reforms passed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act.
@AARP fought for these provisions that will deliver real savings to older Americans struggling to pay for their medications.
This is a momentous day for older Americans. By passing the Inflation Reduction Act, Congress has made good on decades of promises to lower the price of prescription drugs. Many people said this couldn’t be done, but @AARP did not back down from the fight. https://t.co/QsMLiX07Tx
AARP has just delivered a letter urging senators to vote for the historic reforms in the Inflation Reduction Act that will lower Rx drug prices and keep health care affordable for millions.
Here's why these reforms are so important for American families: https://t.co/vvWaVOht7n
87% of voters support Congress standing up to Big Pharma by passing a bill that will finally allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices.
We’re ready for #FairRxPricesNow.

Seniors are sick and tired of paying the highest drug prices in the world.
We at @AARP applaud members of Congress who stood up to big pharma and made sure that #BuildBackBetter will lower drug prices & reduce costs for taxpayers.

The #BuildBackBetter framework must do better – to support and improve the lives of older Americans and their families.
The bill fails to address critical needs without a plan to lower Rx drug prices, no expansion of Medicare, and no added support for family caregivers.
.@AARP statement on Build Back Better framework:
We are outraged that the initial framework doesn't lower prescription drug prices. It would be a monumental mistake for Congress to not act on an historic opportunity . . .
