In New Ad, Hillary Clinton Fighting To Reduce Health Care and Prescription Drug Costs
Hillary for America’s newest ad “Aidan” outlines Hillary Clinton’s plan to tackle out of control prescription drug costs. The ad features Iowan Lynn Kutsch, a nurse who works the night shift at a local hospital, and her six-year-old Aidan, who suffers from the effects of rare disease known as hydrocephalus. The ad outlines Clinton’s plan to fight rising health costs like the high deductibles that make it hard for Lynn to afford Aidan’s medication.
Individuals with chronic or serious illnesses are often spending thousands of dollars a year in out-of-pocket costs. Yet, the largest pharmaceutical companies are together earning $80-$90 billion per year in profits while too often charging Americans excessive prices.
Clinton has made a commitment to address the high deductibles, premiums and copays, that prevent too many Americans from receiving the treatment they need. Her plan cracks down on price gouging, excessive profiteering, place a cap on out-of-pocket costs, and improves fast-track the approval of generic drugs. This proposal, working in tandem with a previously proposed tax credit, will help families afford the care they deserve.
The new 30-second spot is part of the campaign's ongoing buy in Iowa and New Hampshire and will run alongside previously released ads.
