The price of prescription medication is far too high, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand said Monday.
On May 2, Senator Gillibrand argued that the quality of life of New York seniors is being severely impacted by the rising price of prescription medication, forcing some vulnerable members of our society to choose between food and their pharmaceutical health.
“As rising inflation has recently increased the cost of living for so many Americans. The already skyrocketing cost of prescription drugs has become utterly untenable. Today when you go to the pharmacy you can be charged two to three times more, as other people in other countries are paying for the exact same medicine,” Senator Gillibrand said.
