U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley spoke with KCII about his continued effort to include prices in prescription ads, “There’s about six billion dollars spent on pharmaceutical ads, pushing this pill or that pill, and you get a lot of information about what the pill will do for you, but nobody knows what the drug price is. So Senator Durbin of Illinois and I are trying to get legislation passed that would make the pharmaceutical companies put on the TV screen the price of their drug.”  In recent years, Grassley worked in a bipartisan manner to pass the CREATES Act, another bill called the Patient’s Right to Know Act and another one, the Right Rebate Act, into law. Each lowered prescription drug costs for patients and taxpayers by stopping anti-competitive practices, putting sunlight on medications for consumers at the pharmacy counter and keeping drug companies in check.
