We are hoping to fix the problem of unaffordable medication by taking on pharmaceuticals that use taxpayer funds to research new treatments only to exorbitantly price those successful drugs. This can be best solved through our idea of state legislature negotiations, de-monopolizing the industry, and improving antitrust laws. RDCAP will work with state legislators & local attorney generals for briefings related to antitrust issues by finding patients in different states and connecting their concerns directly to their local office to prevent price-fixing in state-based pharmaceuticals. RDCAP will work in advocating and mobilizing state senators and representatives to establish the prescription drug affordability boards, which can cap the cost of medication. Our advocacy work and specific legislative ideas will attract patient advocates and working class people to stand with us and fight against unhealthy business practices that hurt consumers. This’ll encourage politicians to take action. When fiscally, the funds needed for developing prescription drugs, enhancing innovation, & pricing at a low cost can all sustain the national economic health model, it is clear that the problem isn’t the money, rather the distribution of such. Tackling this issue of unaffordable medication is important because everyone should have healthcare access. Period.
