I am writing as your constituent to express my strong support for the Medicare drug price negotiation provisions highlighted in the recent AARP report on expected savings for older Americans. The findings in the report make clear that the ability for Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices is not only overdue, but essential. According to AARP’s analysis, millions of seniors stand to benefit from lower costs on some of the most widely used and expensive medications. These savings would provide meaningful relief for older adults who routinely face difficult choices between paying for prescriptions, utilities, food, or other basic needs. The report also underscores how negotiated prices can help reduce overall Medicare spending, strengthening the program’s long‑term sustainability while improving affordability for beneficiaries. This is a practical, bipartisan step that supports both fiscal responsibility and the health of the people who rely on Medicare every day. I urge you to continue supporting strong implementation of Medicare drug price negotiation and to defend these provisions against any attempts to weaken or repeal them. Older Americans deserve a system that works for them, not one that leaves them struggling under the weight of unaffordable prescriptions. Thank you for your attention to this issue and for your service to our community.
