LIVE: @PattyMurray’s opening remarks on President Trump’s sabotage and skyrocketing health care costs:https://www.help.senate.gov/hearings/reducing-health-care-costs-eliminating-excess-health-care-spending-and-improving-quality-and-value-for-patients …
.@PattyMurray: I’ve heard from families across Washington state who feel overwhelmed by skyrocketing prescription drug costs, rising premiums, and surprise medical bills they weren’t expecting, and I know families across the country feel the same way.
.@PattyMurray: President Trump has utterly failed to address the problem of rising health care costs. Instead of taking meaningful action, he has enabled the industry’s bad behavior by touting a drug pricing blueprint so empty that it sent pharmaceutical stocks soaring.
.@PattyMurray: We confirmed last week that some of the policies in President Trump’s drug pricing blueprint were actually proposed by the pharmaceutical industry. That’s not reform – that’s an inside job.
.@PattyMurray: After families stood up and rejected Trumpcare bills, which would have spiked premiums, gutted Medicaid, and put families back at the mercy of the big insurance companies, President Trump did everything he could to sabotage health care from the Oval Office.
.@PattyMurray: For patients across the country, the future of the Supreme Court isn’t a matter of partisan politics—it’s a matter of life and death. I hope Republicans are listening to the people across the country speaking out about their concerns.
.@PattyMurray: Democrats are still at the table, and we’re still interested in finding commonsense solutions to help reverse some of the damage of President Trump’s health care sabotage, and reduce the skyrocketing costs families across the country are struggling to pay.
