High-Price Drugs

Our Position

Everyone should be able to get the medications they need at a cost they can afford. But drug prices are out of control, and hardworking families feel the consequences every day. It’s time to hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for the prices that they, and they alone, set and increase year after year.

Health insurance providers fight against high prices for more affordable medications for Americans. We do not have to choose between innovation and affordability. With the right solutions, Americans can have both.
