Florida Democratic Party Chair Terrie Rizzo released the following statement applauding the passing of H.R. 3, a bill that would help Florida families by lowering drug prices:

“Today, Democrats put Floridians first by passing H.R. 3 which will allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices and make care more accessible and affordable for hard-working Florida families. This important move demonstrates that Democrats are committed to improving health care for millions of Floridians – unlike President Trump’s repeated failures and broken promises. Trump’s ineffectiveness runs deep. He has drastically cut funding for Medicare by more than hundreds of billions of dollars, given drug companies billions in tax breaks, and jeopardized care for Floridians with preexisting conditions. Floridians won’t forget Trump’s countless broken promises or his attempts to block lifesaving health care for them and their families.”
