马里兰州拉戈市(2024年8月15日) — President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris announced lower prescription drug prices for Americans enrolled in Medicare during a visit to Prince George’s 社区 College (线上赌博app) on Thursday。 他们都谈到了政府和制药公司之间的新药价格谈判，以降低10种救命处方药的自付费用，节省数十亿美国纳税人的钱。
“Every senior in our nation should be able to live with security, stability, and dignity,” Vice President Kamala Harris said。 “In the United States of America, no senior should have to choose between either filling their prescription or paying rent。 That’s the subject of today。”
“We pay more for prescription drugs than any other advanced nation in the world,” President Joe Biden said。 “Today, I’m proud to announce that Medicare has reached agreement with all manufacturers on all 10 drugs selected in the first round of negotiations。”
从2026年1月开始，数百万美国老年人和其他享受医疗保险的人将开始看到治疗癌症、糖尿病、心脏病、关节炎和血栓等疾病的药物价格降低。 This announcement comes after their administration’s successful efforts to cap the out-of-pocket cost of insulin at $35, prevent surprise medical billing for unexpected costs, and prohibit health care providers from including medical bills on consumers’ credit reports。
During the event, Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks spoke about the Biden-Harris Administration’s work to keep expenses low for the American people。 “Lowering costs for working families is the number one priority of this administration。 And it’s clear they are making progress,” Alsobrooks said。 “America does well when Americans are thriving。”
马里兰州州长韦斯·摩尔也出席了会议，并在讲话中强调了这一宣布的重要性。 “It is exciting to know that we have an administration who sees us and fights for us,” Moore said。 “Maryland is going to continue to be a full partner with this administration to protect, defend, and strengthen the basic rights that we cherish。”
Prince George’s 社区 College is honored to host President Biden and Vice President Harris for their joint appearance。 This also marks President Biden’s second visit to the College in less than a year。 2023年9月，拜登总统访问了线上赌博app，并在“拜登经济学”平台上发表了演讲。
“Prince George’s 社区 College is proud to have hosted President Biden and Vice President Harris for a pivotal discussion on lowering health care costs,” 线上赌博app President Dr。 Falecia D。 Williams said。 “This event highlights our mission to transform lives and support all students, both traditional and nontraditional。 As Governor Wes Moore noted, ‘Some of our most amazing leaders in our state—this is where they are bred, this is where they are trained, and this is where they will continue to lead。’ 线上赌博app remains dedicated to enhancing education and opportunity, aligning with our commitment to empower students and enrich our community。"
