Coloradans demand transparent drug pricing!

When prescription drug prices skyrocket families are forced to make terrible decisions. Many forgo paying their rent or buying groceries. Some even stop taking their medication, which can be deadly.

60 percent of Americans need prescription drugs to survive. It's outrageous that pharmaceutical companies can jack up the prices with no warning and no explanation.

The unforeseen costs that come from unexpected price hikes are detrimental not only to the health of Coloradans like us, but also to our financial stability.

This past month, a bill to give us all some more transparency into our drug prices was introduced in the state House. HB18-1260 says that pharmaceutical companies have to explain why they make big hikes in the prices of their drugs.

Coloradans deserve to know why the costs of their medications are increasing so rapidly and drastically. Transparency helps us have a better understanding over our health care and helps us answer our neighbors' call for clearer, fairer drug pricing – and make sure that companies are accountable to the patients who rely on their drugs.

Tell Colorado's elected officials to vote yes on HB18-1260 to bring accountability and affordability to the pharmaceutical industry.
Dear State Senators and Representatives of the Colorado General Assembly,

We are asking you to stand up for Coloradans and hold drug companies accountable for sudden price hikes of prescription medications. These prescriptions are often crucial for people's health and quality of life. As such, affordability of and access to these prescription drugs is a main concern of your constituents. The unforeseen costs that come from unexpected price hikes are detrimental not only to the health of Coloradans like us, but also to our financial stability. Coloradans deserve to know why the costs of their medications are increasing so rapidly and drastically. Transparency in drug pricing would allow market forces to work to potentially lower drug prices and increase access and accountability.

Please help us bring accountability and affordability to the cost of prescription drugs by voting YES on legislation that will help make that possible. Thank you for representing our best interests.
