A new pharma-backed bill, the EPIC Act, would let drug companies avoid lower negotiated prices for longer. The EPIC Act is a blatant handout to Big Pharma, and if it passes, millions of Americans will pay the price. Read P4ADNOW's letter to US Senators: tinyurl.com/y8ry6skr

⚠️ CAUTION ⚠️ The Ensuring Pathways to Innovative Cures (EPIC) Act would extend the lower price negotiation exemption for small molecule drugs (90% of drugs in the market) from 9 to 13 years, forcing patients to pay higher prices for longer. Congress MUST REJECT the EPIC Act.

The EPIC act was just reintroduced and would delay Medicare negotiation for small molecules from 9 to 13 yrs. “Make no mistake, this is yet another attempt by Big Pharma to rig the system in its favor.” – Merith Basey, P4ADNOW Executive Director. Congress must reject it! tinyurl.com/3x6ueezx
A bill is reintroduced in Congress to revise provisions in drug-pricing law
The bill would allow Medicare to begin negotiating with pharmaceutical companies over prices for small molecule medicines 13 years after they reach the market, just as with biologics.

While drug companies profit, patients across the US are struggling to pay for their life saving prescription drugs. We know that drugs don't work if patients can't afford them so why are we letting Big Pharma abuse our system while patients suffer?
