The bottom line is that when it comes to prescription drug prices, Missourians are taking in on the chin. And that’s just not fair. Claire: “There’s simply no reason that the cost of a drug in Versailles, Missouri, should be 7 times higher than in Versailles, France.”

Versailles, MO vs. Versailles, France. Milan, MO vs. Milan, Italy. Sedalia, MO vs. Sedalia, Canada. One thing all these cities have in common? The cost of prescription drugs is, on average, consistently higher– up to 591% higher – in the Show Me state than in foreign countries.

Claire’s working to reduce the cost of prescription drugs, from helping pass bipartisan proposals to lower costs & end gag clauses to increasing competition for generic drugs. She’s fighting for what’s right for MO families: lower prescription drug costs.

Claire agrees with the President: prescription drug prices are too high, and we need all hands on deck in our effort to bring down costs. It’s unconscionable that Medicare can't negotiate bulk discounts on drugs & taxpayers are subsidizing prescription drug ads flooding our TVs.

Claire’s heard firsthand how devastating this epidemic has been for Missouri families, and she’s been vocal in her efforts to tackle the opioid epidemic. Now, she’s excited to see the President sign this bipartisan step in the right direction into law.

This week (by a vote of 99-1!) the Senate passed an opioids package that included Claire’s priorities for fighting the epidemic, including proposals aimed at cracking down on fentanyl shipments, bringing down overprescription, and increasing prescribing oversight in Medicare.

Claire knows “cracking down on illegal shipments of fentanyl that are flooding our streets, reducing overdoses, and preventing prescription shoppers—all things that will save lives in Missouri—this effort is further proof that when we work together, we can get real results.”
