Dark $$ group American Commitment funded by Big Pharma is out w/false ad attacking @AARP for supporting bill to lower Rx prices, limit price increases & lower oop for seniors.
AARP is on our side. American Commitment is serving Big Pharma. Don't buy the bull.

Voters age 50+ were clear about their priority in last year’s election: lower prescription drug prices – it’s time for Congress to make good on their promise. #FairRxPricesNow

#PaidLeave is necessary for working family caregivers to perform their responsibilities. The #BuildBackBetter legislation provides up to four weeks of paid leave for the birth of a child or to take care of a sick loved one.

We urge the Senate to pass this legislation.

[Kevin Donnellan @kevindonnellan]

As our CEO said “the fight is not over.”It is time for the Senate to pass #BuildBackBetter Act.

[AARP @AARP]

“Today’s vote is a critical step to help seniors afford the prescription drugs they need,” says AARP's @NancyLeaMond. Here's the latest on the #BuildBackBetter Act. https://t.co/yRLgCScpXx

The average annual cost for one specialty medication was $84,442 in 2020.

That's nearly THREE TIMES the median income for Medicare beneficiaries ($29,650)

It's also more than 4.5 times the average Social Security retirement benefit ($18,530)

AARP: Allowing Medicare to Finally Negotiate Drug Prices is a Big Win for Seniors - November 2, 2021 https://t.co/vfDOxLfrnW

[AARP Advocates @AARPadvocates]

The fact that the Build Back Better plan completely fails to address the high price of prescription drugs is an insult to Americans 50+ and their families.

[AARP Advocates @AARPadvocates]

Members of Congress have a lot of explaining to do to the 87% of voters 50+ who support Medicare being able to negotiate lower drug prices.

[AARP @AARP]

"Voters 50+ are a major force in every election and they expect the President and Congress to keep their promises and let Medicare negotiate for lower drug prices," says AARP's @NancyLeaMond. #FairRxPricesNow #BuildBackBetter

[AARP Advocates @AARPadvocates]

STATEMENT: We are outraged that the initial Build Back Better framework does not lower prescription drug prices.

It would be a monumental mistake for Congress not to act on a historic opportunity to improve the lives of virtually every American family. https://t.co/XlupuHjbCl
