Crowley on Health Care
“In Congress I will fight to guarantee that every American has access to healthcare and low cost prescription drugs. I will stand up to the multi-national pharmaceutical companies who are gouging the American consumer.” |
With 45 million Americans at any one time without healthcare, and millions more paying excessive prices for prescription drugs, the system is broken and it is up to Congress to fix it.
Joe Crowley has consistently stood up against the multinational pharmaceutical companies and supports real prescription drug coverage, not the give-a-way plan to insurance companies that President Bush signed into law.
Joe Crowley believes in a REAL prescription coverage to reduce the cost of prescription drugs for seniors on Medicare. Congressman Joe Crowley’s plan would MANDATE that the US Government negotiate with drug companies to reduce the price for the consumer.
In Washington, Congressman Joe Crowley passed the first piece of legislation to allow low-cost price controlled drugs from Canada to be “reimported” into the United States for personal use by residents of Queens and the Bronx.
Congressman Joe Crowley has worked to double the budget of the National Institutes of Health, bring millions of dollars in additional money to Queens and Bronx public hospitals, and bring state of the art digital mammography equipment to Elmhurst General Hospital to save women’s lives. |
