Drugmakers raise prices on medicines people can’t live without because nothing stops them. Patients split pills, skip doses, and ration insulin while the same companies post record profits and hike list prices year after year. Your state doesn’t have to wait for Congress to act: states can set up an independent board that reviews the most expensive drugs and caps what everyone in the state pays for them — insurers, pharmacies, and patients alike. A few states have started, and the industry is suing to stop them, which tells you it works. Resistbot is asking your state lawmakers, and everyone running for those seats, to create a prescription drug affordability board with the power to set upper payment limits — or, where one exists, to give it that power and fund it.
