David Schweikert Opposed Lowering Drug Costs

Today, the Biden administration announced the first set of 10 medicines that Medicare will finally have the power to directly negotiate the price of thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act – a law David Schweikert opposed in Congress.

Drugs to fight cancer, diabetes, and heart disease will be more affordable for Arizonans – no thanks to David Schweikert.

In addition to this newly announced reform, the Inflation Reduction Act is already saving Arizonans money by capping the cost of insulin to $35 per month for qualifying households and making the Shingles vaccination free.

If David Schweikert had his way, Arizonans would be paying more for prescription drugs.

DCCC spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“David Schweikert voted against legislation that lowers the cost of life-saving prescription drugs, delivers for Arizona families, and stands up to Big Pharma. Get real.”
