The included provisions attack the free market and would lead to higher drug prices and fewer cures. Further, Speaker Pelosi’s bill undermines bipartisan efforts to lower prescription drug prices, efforts which have indeed resulted in many next-generation cures and beneficial drugs being introduced over just the last two years. This includes legislation like H.R. 19, which would encourage innovation, promote more low-cost generics, and cap seniors’ out-of-pocket costs. Unlike Speaker Pelosi’s H.R. 3 socialist plan, the bipartisan alternative which I support, H.R. 19, has the support of President Trump and would significantly help American families. That’s the bill the Democrats should have brought to the House floor. Instead, we have this monstrosity messaging bill, politically-driven and strictly intended to appease the far-left base of Speaker Pelosi’s party. America grows weary of this socialist political strategy to seize power and diminish American freedoms.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-06-27T23:45:33Z |
