What are your views on prescription drug price negotiation as proposed in the 110th Congress (HR 4)?
Seniors should receive the highest quality of healthcare at the lowest price possible. In Congress I have voted repeatedly in support of legislation that provides competition to ensure seniors receive the prescription drugs they want at a price they can afford. Unfortunately the new Democrat Majority in the House denied any opportunity to offer amendments to HR 4 or allow consideration of proposals through the normal committee process. Instead, they forced a stand alone vote on legislation that could in fact limit seniors’ choices and raise prices for our veterans prescription drugs. Seniors would be denied their choice of prescription medicine and veterans’ drug prices could also be negatively impacted. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has determined that forcing the government to negotiate drug prices will significantly reduce the number of medicines available to seniors. Pharmaceuticals that agree to discount some drug prices will raise the prices of other drugs to recoup
