Male Announcer:  Heart disease.  Asthma.  Diabetes.  Seven out of ten Americans take prescription drugs.  But in the last seven years drug prices have doubled.

Hillary's going to take on the drug companies, require Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices, let people buy their prescription drugs from countries like Canada at half the price, and cap monthly prescription costs for every American.

Hillary Clinton: The drug companies have been overcharging long enough.  It's time to fight back.

Clinton (voiceover): I'm Hillary Clinton and I approve this message.

In New Ad, Clinton Pledges to 'Fight Back' Against Rising Prescription Drug Costs

As part of Hillary Clinton’s commitment to helping middle-class families deal with rising costs, Hillary for America's latest TV ad, "Doubled", highlights Clinton's plan to lower out-of-pocket expenses related to prescription drugs. At a time when, as the ad notes, seven out of ten Americans are taking prescription drugs, those drug prices have doubled.

Clinton’s plan would require Medicare to negotiate lower prices, allow people to buy less expensive drugs from places like Canada, and cap monthly drug costs for all Americans.

“The drug companies have been overcharging for far too long. It’s time we fight back,” says Clinton in the ad.

Clinton has laid out a detailed plan to tackle prescription drug costs. It is available here.

The new, 30-second spot is part of the campaign's ongoing buy in Iowa and will run alongside previously released ads.
