Notes: According to the
Sept. 28
press release, the ad highlights
"...the
aggressive plan Hillary Clinton rolled out last week to confront
out-of-control costs for prescription drugs. As Clinton has said, too
many American families and seniors are being squeezed by these rising
drug costs – even as they have seen their wages and incomes grow far
too slowly for years.
"The new television ad, called 'Overnight', spotlights how Hillary Clinton is already getting results in her fight to curb prescription drug costs. In announcing her proposals last week, Clinton specifically spoke out against a plan by Turing Pharmaceuticals to raise the price of a drug that helps AIDS patients by more than 5,000 times its original level. A day after Clinton criticized the hike as "price gouging," the company's CEO reversed himself and pledged to cut the price of the drug, known as Daraprim.
"Hillary
Clinton will never stop this fight because Turing Pharmaceuticals isn’t
the only company charging outrageous skyrocketing prices for
prescription drugs that put them out of reach for everyday Americas who
need them to get healthy or stay well. For a fact sheet detailing
Clinton’s full plan for tackling rising prescription drug costs, click here."
