As Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act delivers lower drug prices, Garcia, Calvert, and House Republicans have repeatedly opposed the cost-saving legislation
Today, the White House announced that they have negotiated down the cost of 10 prescription drugs under Medicare – saving millions of Americans billions of dollars in yearly costs.
Thanks to House Democrats’ historic, cost-saving Inflation Reduction Act, these price negotiations are expected to save taxpayers $6 billion and help Americans save $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket medication costs.
Not a single House Republican voted for this life-saving legislation – including Mike Garcia and Ken Calvert. Even worse, House Republicans have repeatedly called for the full repeal of the landmark bill.
Trump’s Project 2025 and House Republicans’ calls to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act would force millions of Americans to pay more for life-saving prescription drugs like insulin and now 10 of the country’s most common and costly drugs.
DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
“While House Democrats have successfully lowered prices on the most common and costly prescription drugs, Mike Garcia and Ken Calvert opposed the life-saving legislation that did just that – and that’s one of many reasons Californians will reject them at the ballot box this November.”
