Petition to Big Pharma CEOs: Your lawsuits directly oppose the interests of patients and taxpayers who overwhelmingly support Medicare's ability to negotiate lower drug prices. We call on you to immediately withdraw your lawsuits against Medicare negotiation. | Big Pharma companies like Merck, Novo Nordisk, and Bristol Myers Squibb have sued the government to block Medicare from negotiating the price of prescription drugs. The ability of Medicare to negotiate some drug prices, included in the Inflation Reduction Act, would drastically decrease the cost of prescription drugs for everyday Americans. But Big Pharma and lobbying groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are doing everything they can to stop Medicare's new negotiating powers. This is Big Pharma greed trying to keep corporate profits as high as possible. The CEO of Merck took home $20 million in pay in 2023, yet is backing this push to gut modest pricing reforms to lower the price of drugs for average Americans. That's why we're joining over 70 organizations calling for Pharma CEOs to drop their lawsuits. Sign the petition: Urge Big Pharma CEOs to drop their anti-Medicare lawsuits! The corporate opposition to desperately needed health care reforms is extraordinary. Big Pharma has 1,800 lobbyists on Capitol Hill — that's a lot of corporate pressure aimed at keeping medication prices sky high. All while the CEOs leading these anti-Medicare lawsuits make millions every year. We need to let the heads of Big Pharma corporations know that the American people want lower drug prices, and demand that these companies drop their lawsuits. Sign the petition: Tell Big Pharma CEOs to drop their anti-Medicare lawsuits! |
