Thank you Mayor and DC Council for helping patients pay less for medications

February 27, 2017

Thank you Mayor Bowser and DC Council! Many cancer patients in the District are now worrying a little less about the outrageous costs of their medications, thanks to Mayor Bowser and the DC Council.  They enacted a new law that imposes a $150 limit on out-of-pocket costs for FDA approved prescription drugs.

This is a significant step forward for patients and helps ensure that every District of Columbia resident has affordable access to their life-saving medications.  Please help us thank the Mayor and DC Council Members.

Send a thank you message now.
