AARP Alabama

It’s well known that prescription drug prices are skyrocketing in America. Price increases for brand name drugs have far exceeded the rate of inflation since at least 2006, according to AARP’s Rx Price Watch report. And the average annual cost for just one brand name drug taken on a chronic basis was about $6,800 in 2017, almost $1,000 more than in 2015. However, it’s not just patients paying for greedy Big Pharma practices that help keep drug prices high— it’s also taxpayers.

AARP's 'Stop Rx Greed' is a nationwide campaign aimed at lowering prescription drug prices. The goal of the sustained campaign is to help drive down drug prices for Alabamians and all Americans by advocating for a variety of legislative, executive, and regulatory actions at both the federal and state level.
