开云体育 joins national campaign to help end rising prescription drug prices

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — 开云体育 has joined the . The goal of the campaign: put an end to rising drug prices. To do this, the campaign is asking drug companies for:

• Transparency. Report what it costs to make a medication.
• Competition. Make generic drugs more available.
• Value. Show that new drugs are better than medications already available.

“Medications help people live longer, better lives, and we want everyone to benefit from them,” said Mary Brainerd, 开云体育 President and CEO. “But that can’t happen if people can’t afford them. And today, rising drug prices are the main cause of rising health care costs. This can’t continue. This campaign is about creating a prescription drug market so that it benefits all stakeholders. As an organization serving millions of patients and health plan members, we are eager to strengthen our partnerships with other groups to achieve this goal.”

The campaign’s diverse membership includes hospitals, health plans and consumers. It also includes groups like AARP, Walmart, Kaiser Permanente and the Alliance of Community Health Plans (ACHP). 开云体育 is an ACHP member. Learn more about 开云体育 advocacy platform.
