Our coalition is proud to announce the first-of-its-kind Congressional scorecard on pharmaceutical drugs. When it comes to making pharmaceutical drugs more affordable for working families, we'll be scoring the good, the bad, and the ugly from our members of Congress. Voters will be able to use our scorecard to see how their representative ranks — and then take action.
“The American people need and want action on prescription drugs. When our tax dollars pay for research, we should be able to access life-saving drugs at prices we can afford. This scorecard will allow us to see which members of Congress support key legislation to lower the cost of drugs for seniors and working families — and which members of Congress are standing in the way.” - Stephanie Taylor, Co-Founder, Progressive Change Campaign Committee and P Street Project
“For too long pharmaceutical money has spoken louder than the American people in Washington, DC. Our Congressional scorecard is set to correct this perversion of democracy, hold members of Congress accountable for their promises and ensure that the people’s voices are heard when we say: we need bold action on drug prices and we need it now.” - Alex Lawson, Executive Director, Social Security Works
“Healthcare costs in the U.S. continue to rise in large part because drug companies continue to raise already exploitative pricing. Although reasonable and effective regulation has been proposed, the U.S. Congress stands by passing only modest, ineffectual measures. Shining a light on individual member voting records and industry influence will give American citizens the transparency they need when voting. It will reveal hollow campaign promises for what they are.” - Richard Master, Chairman, Business Initiative For Health Policy
