To: The United States Senate
Shame on Democratic Senators who voted with Big Pharma!
You should be voting to lower drug prices and expand healthcare. Shame on you for voting to protect Big Pharma's profits!
Why is this important?
Less than 24 hours after the Senate Republicans took the first step to repeal the Affordable Care Act, 13 Democratic Senators voted against lowering drug prices for the working class. They voted down an amendment, proposed by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, that would have allowed the import of drugs from Canada.
The Democratic Senators who voted NO:
Michael Bennett (CO) 202-224-5852
Cory Booker (NJ) 202-224-3224
Maria Cantwell (WA) 202-224-3441
Tom Carper (DE) 202-224-2441
Bob Casey (PA) 202-224-6324
Chris Coons (DE) 202-224-5042
Joe Donnelly (IN) 202-224-4814
Martin Heinrich (NM) 202-224-5521
Heidi Heitkamp (ND) 202-224-2043
Bob Menendez (NJ) 202-224-4744
Patty Murray (WA) 202-224-2621
Jon Tester (MT) 202-224-2644
Mark Warner (VA) 202-224-2023
According to Jezebel, some of these Democrats are among the top recipients of Big Pharma funding: "Sen. Booker received $267,338; Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) received $254,649; Robert Casey (D-PA) received $250,730; Michael Bennet (D-CO) received $222,000" between 2010 and 2016. [1]
Shame on these Democrats for voting against the working class, when they should be doing all they can to protect our healthcare!
