Year after year as ordtak

Year after year, as drug prices rise much faster than inflation, more and more seniors are forced to go without much-needed medications. The millions of low-income seniors, who subsist on Social Security checks that rise no faster than inflation, can no longer afford skyrocketing drug prices. Congress must act now to provide real relief to them.

Drug prices are going up faster than inflation and we need to do more to keep them affordable.

Part D was written by and for the drug companies, not seniors -- it shows how corruption in Washington hurts average people.
