A group calling them Seniors for Better Care (Seniors4BetterCare dot com) takes issue with the “liberals in Congress” as they “push to expand the Biden-Harris price fixing agenda for prescription drugs”. They are opposing S. 1246 which is sponsored by Senator Klobuchar.
They are buying big ads in Wyoming telling us that our Senator Barrasso a medical doctor (pictured in the ad) “has always fought to protect Medicare drug coverage.” Ha! They urge us to call him and ask him to vote against the life-saving bill. Oddly, they are concerned, but they don’t ask us to call our other Senator.
Only Republicans (oh, and Libertarians) could make something evil out of the earnest effort to stop greedy companies from price gouging people who need life-saving drugs.
I don’t know if this group was formed just to promote Barrasso or if they are supporting other Republican Senators with these ads. I’d be curious if they are showing up in other states with US Senate races this year.
The Wyoming Democrats have a real fighter in our corner going against Barrasso this year.
Scott Morrow is running for US Senate as a Democrat.
Our primary is Tuesday August 20 and Scott does not have a Democratic opponent.
Sure, it’s a long shot, but if Scott is better funded he can get our message out and fight these awful dark money groups who are undermining our efforts to negotiate drug prices. An added bonus is that it might inspire more Democrats to vote and help down ballot races.
