> This community fights SO hard to protect the benefits we’ve earned. People 50+ have worked hard their whole lives — yet, despite having paid into Social Security and Medicare, we live knowing that these bedrock programs are always under threat. And now, with rising costs due to inflation, it's time for Congress to make our concerns a priority. 
> 
> Lori, this is our moment: news reports indicate that the Senate is considering a budget proposal that would save Medicare and seniors billions of dollars. If successful, the deal would allow Medicare to directly negotiate for lower prescription drug prices, cap out-of-pocket costs for Medicare patients at $2,000 per year, and so much more. 
> 
> To celebrate the anniversary of Medicare on July 30, we’re ramping up the pressure on Congress to make sure this bill passes. 
> 
> Lori, this is the moment we’ve been working towards, but we need your support to get it done: Will you send a letter to Congress showing your support for legislation that lowers Rx prices?

> We’ve spent YEARS fighting for progress but this news is coming at a critical time: primary elections are in full swing and sitting members of Congress are set to go on summer recess very soon. Meanwhile, people 50+ are making do with less, watching as prices rise because of inflation — and we are counting on our Senators to act. 
> 
> We can’t back down: send your message now and DEMAND that lawmakers make good on their promises and act to help lower prescription drug prices.
