Please ask your Senator to support SB 357 (Senators Gile and Feldman)
The Prescription Drug Affordability Board-authority for Upper Payment Limits (Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for All Maryland Now Act)
This Bill will expand the Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) to ALL Marylanders, which currently only covers state and county employees:
· Approximately 1/3 of insurance payments are for medications which impacts on the cost of policies
· Strong opposition by pharma and their allies creates a challenge in obtaining support for SB 357
· Pharmaceutical companies have arbitrarily raised prices multiple times in the U.S
· Other countries often pay less for the same drugs
· The extra money made by drug corporations is not going to research and development but profits, advertising, and lobbying with their allies
For the greatest impact, please personalize your letter with your stories or of people who have been affected by the skyrocketing costs of medications!
· Noting you are a UU shows the liberal faith community feels this legislation is very important.
