Yvette Herrell Opposed Lowering Drug Costs

Yesterday, 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 Yvette Herrell opposed in Congress.

Drugs to fight cancer, diabetes, and heart disease will be more affordable for New Mexicans – no thanks to Yvette Herrell.

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

If Yvette Herrell had her way, New Mexicans would be paying more for prescription drugs.

DCCC spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“Yvette Herrell voted against lowering prescription drug costs for New Mexico families, and instead stood by Big Pharma. She cannot be trusted.”
