CAP commends the more than 50 lawmakers in the House who recognize that enough is enough when it comes to the skyrocketing costs of pharmaceuticals. For months now, public opinion polls have shown that consumers, regardless of their political affiliation, are demanding reforms to lower drug prices. One such road to reform is to implement strong executive actions that will help lower costs, improve public health, and jump-start innovation.
In response to the 62nd vote in the House to repeal the Affordable Health Care Act, Rep. Lloyd Doggett said:

“The Pope’s message of goodness and hope, of peace and justice, touches people of all faiths. I salute his call for dialogue and cooperation to respond to the most disadvantaged, reject violence, and serve as stewards of our threatened planet. His reminder that we all come from families of foreigners is an antidote to the poisonous misrepresentations about immigrants, which bombard us daily. I hope his nonpolitical words lead to more effective action from a Congress that has accomplished so little.” --Rep. Lloyd Doggett
