Prescription Drug Prices
I’m honored to have been appointed by Attorney General Keith Ellison to his Advisory Task Force on Lowering Pharmaceutical Drug Prices. Across the country, Americans are facing a prescription drug pricing crisis. Nearly 1 in 4 adults in the U.S. struggle to afford their prescription drugs, forcing patients to make impossible choices.
All Minnesotans should be able to afford the medications they count on to live full, healthy lives, but skyrocketing prices have meant people cut pills in half, ration their insulin, or simply go without what’s been prescribed. This is unacceptable, and I look forward to working with the Task Force to address issues of price gouging, transparency, and interference from middlemen like Pharmacy Benefit Managers. I am committed to ensuring a great quality of life for every Minnesotan without fear of being unable to pay for medications.
Please continue to reach out with your ideas, input, or if I can ever be of assistance. It’s an honor to represent our community at the State Capitol.
Sincerely,
John Lesch
State Representative |
