Greg Stanton applauded the announcement of the first Medicare negotiated drug prices under the Inflation Reduction Act\u2014impacting more than 164,000 Medicare enrollees in Arizona.

A full list of the drugs and their new prices is available HERE.\n\n\u201cWe took on Big Pharma\u2014and won. Now, Arizona seniors living on fixed incomes can worry less about affording prescription drugs,\u201d Stanton, an early champion of Medicare price negotiation, said. \u201cI won\u2019t stop working to expand these savings to all Arizonans.\u201d\n\nThe new prices will go into effect for people with Medicare Part D prescription drug coverage beginning January 1, 2026.
