Mariannette Miller Meeks Opposed Lowering Costs of Life Saving Drugs for Millions of Americans

As the Inflation Reduction Act delivers lower drug prices, Miller-Meeks has repeatedly sided with her drug industry donors to oppose the cost-saving legislation

Today, the White House announced that they have negotiated down the cost of 10 prescription drugs under Medicare, which is expected to save taxpayers $6 billion and help Americans save $1.5 billion in out-of-pocket medication costs.

Mariannette Miller-Meeks, who's taken nearly $200,000 from the drug industry, voted against this law to protect her special interest donors. Even worse, she has called for rolling back the legislation.

This would force millions of Americans to pay more for life-saving prescription drugs like insulin and now 10 of the country's most common and costly drugs.

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"Mariannette Miller-Meeks would rather raise costs on Iowa families than let down her drug industry donors - and that's why voters will reject her at the ballot box this November."
