“That’s why I’m introducing a bipartisan bill to lower out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs for Nevada seniors and reduce the amount of money they have to pay at the pharmacy counter. I’ll keep working with anyone – Republican, Democrat, or Independent – to bring down costs for families in our state.”“Seniors with chronic conditions oftentimes face unnecessarily high out-of-pocket costs,” said Sen. Tillis. “We must address misaligned incentives that artificially drive up prescription drug prices, and I’m proud to work with my colleagues to reduce out-of-pocket costs and ensure seniors have uninterrupted access to evidence-based medicines.”“Americans pay more for prescription drugs than any other country in the world. The rising cost of prescription drugs is especially harmful to seniors, forcing them to pay more out of pocket for lifesaving medications,” said Sen. Welch. This increases costs for patients at the pharmacy counter and can even lead to patients paying more for a medicine than their insurer did.
