Prescription drug prices are rising, driving up the cost of health care for patients, insured families and our state and federal health programs.

Two-thirds of U.S. adults rely on prescription drugs to live full lives and to treat illnesses and medical conditions. And yet 1 in 4 people struggle to pay for their medications.

When people can’t fit their medicines in their monthly budgets, they make decisions that negatively impact their health, like skipping doses, or even leaving their prescription unfilled.

We’re running a campaign to find solutions to high drug prices.

We want to increase competition by getting generic and biosimilar options on pharmacy shelves sooner.

Will you help our campaign by sharing your experience with high drug prices?

Please take 5 minutes to answer some questions. When we share these stories with decision-makers, they are more inspired to find meaningful solutions.
