FACT: Democrats’ socialist drug pricing scheme would raise costs, not lower them.

• The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) confirmed that Democrats’ socialists drug pricing scheme will increase launch prices for new treatments and raise insurance premiums, pushing new cures out of reach for many American patients.

FACT: A study shows that we would have fewer therapies if Democrats’ scheme were in place during the last decade.

• A Vital Transformation study finds that if drug price controls under consideration in the Senate had been enacted during the last decade, only six of 110 currently approved therapies would have made it to patients.
• 104 treatments we have today would not have come to fruition under the Democrats’ cures-killing policies. Those cures touch a wide variety of diseases—cancer, depression, hypertension, and rheumatoid arthritis, to name a few—affecting hundreds of millions of Americans.
