The Republicans want to repeal the Affordable Care Act, I want to improve it. I want to build on it, get the costs down, get prescription drug costs down. Senator Sanders wants us to start all over again. This was a major achievement of President [Barack] Obama, of our country. It is helping people right now.

Hillary Clinton

Recently, lobbyists for the pharmaceutical industry wrote a prescription drug bill that increased their profits and did nothing to help seniors. The result: seniors are stuck with a confusing prescription drug plan that does little to help them with their costs.

Marty Meehan

We need to work on drug costs, and there's things we can work on on drug costs, especially Medicare Part D, to bring drug costs down.

Tim Kaine

Harold Ford, Jr.

Mike Simpson

John Shimkus

The cost of prescription drugs in this country is far, far higher than in any other country. You may recall that Donald Trump as a candidate for president talked about how he was going to take on the pharmaceutical industry and it was going to lower prescription drug costs.

Bernie Sanders

When I ran for attorney general, I promised to protect our seniors - and just look at what we've accomplished. From stopping scammers and cracking down on abuse to fighting for lower prescription drug costs, I've always put our seniors first.

Andy Beshear

The Prescription Drug Benefit we passed in Congress is already working to make prescription drugs available and affordable for all seniors who depend on them, through the drug card that became available last year.

Mark Kennedy

I support negotiating authority to lower prescription drug prices.

Jan Schakowsky

However, the Medicare prescription drug benefit has changed, and if the nearly 3,000 seniors I have met through 12 town halls can represent a sample of opinion, many seniors do not yet understand the prescription drug program and do not plan to sign up for coverage.

Mike Fitzpatrick

It is a necessary precondition for the success of a referendum that there should be broad community consensus and bipartisan support for it.

George Brandis

Increasing patient access to more affordable, FDA-approved generic and biosimilar medicines is a proven and tested solution to lowering prescription drug costs.

Chris Sununu

Skyrocketing prescription drug costs are jeopardizing the health and financial security of Central Virginia seniors and families - and the personal stories of my constituents are truly heartbreaking.
