Grassley On the Need to Act on Prescription Drug Costs
Prepared Floor Remarks by U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa
On the Need to Act on Prescription Drug Costs
Monday, October 28, 2019
Polling consistently shows that lowering the cost of prescription drugs is a top priority for Americans.
That’s why I hope we can act on this pressing issue in the coming months.
A failure to act would be remembered by Americans.
This week, the Democratic House is poised to pass a bill.
There are many problems with that legislation, and it doesn’t stand a chance of passage in the Senate.
Thankfully, we have bipartisan legislation in the Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act that President Trump supports and has a clear path to being signed into law.
We need the full Senate to act on this legislation.
Republicans should not want to be the party that failed to act.
