“Expand Medicare drug price negotiation and extend the savings to private insurance. Letting Medicare negotiate the price of high-cost prescription drugs — which it began doing for the first time under the 2022 law that also capped insulin at $35 a month and seniors’ out-of-pocket drug costs at $2,000 — is projected to save Part D enrollees an estimated $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs in 2026 alone, with far more to come as more drugs are added. More than 571,000 Kansans rely on Medicare, but negotiation currently reaches only a short, slow-growing list of drugs and does nothing for the working-age Kansans on private insurance. Adam would expand the number of negotiated drugs, speed up the timeline, and extend negotiated prices to private plans — an approach CBO once estimated could save roughly $456 billion over a decade — while capping out-of-pocket drug costs at a reasonable level.”

More than 571,000 Kansans rely on Medicare, but negotiation currently reaches only a short, slow-growing list of drugs and does nothing for the working-age Kansans on private insurance.

“Despite Donald Trump’s ridiculous claim that he’s reduced drug prices by 400%, we pay far higher prices for prescription drugs than people in other countries do. We have to change that — along with a host of other things that contribute to a wildly expensive and inefficient system.”

“Price caps on medication and care Billionaires and corporations should not get to decide how much you go into debt when we’re sick. Their record-breaking profits come out of our wallets, and it’s time for that to end. I will fight to cap the price of medical procedures and prescription drugs across the board to an affordable rate in line with other major countries.”

Senate · North Carolina · Democrat
“Crack down on pharmacy benefit managers and their middlemen who put small town pharmacists out of business and pocket savings instead of passing them along to patients.”
View on their website ↗
“Roy Cooper believes that doctors should decide your health care, not insurance companies and he’d reverse the Affordable Care Act tax credit expiration and cuts to Medicaid that leave people without the coverage they need and drive up prices for everyone. He’d also require Medicare to broaden negotiations with drug makers to make prescriptions more affordable and strengthen oversight of hospital mergers that put profits over patients. He’d crack down on pharmacy benefit managers that pocket savings instead of passing them on to patients, curb surprise billing and cap annual out-of-pocket costs for prescription drugs. He’d prevent medical debt by requiring hospitals to auto-enroll patients in charity care and increase enforcement of upfront pricing to make health care costs more transparent.”

Adam Hamilton
Senate · Kansas · Democrat
“Expand Medicare drug price negotiation and extend the savings to private insurance. Letting Medicare negotiate the price of high-cost prescription drugs — which it began doing for the first time under the 2022 law that also capped insulin at $35 a month and seniors’ out-of-pocket drug costs at $2,000 — is projected to save Part D enrollees an estimated $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket costs in 2026 alone, with far more to come as more drugs are added. More than 571,000 Kansans rely on Medicare, but negotiation currently reaches only a short, slow-growing list of drugs and does nothing for the working-age Kansans on private insurance. Adam would expand the number of negotiated drugs, speed up the timeline, and extend negotiated prices to private plans — an approach CBO once estimated could save roughly $456 billion over a decade — while capping out-of-pocket drug costs at a reasonable level.”
