12 March 2019 - Today, AARP announced the launch of 'Stop Rx Greed,' a nationwide campaign aimed at lowering prescription drug prices. The goal of AARP's sustained campaign is to help drive down drug prices for all Americans by advocating for a variety of legislative, executive, and regulatory actions at both the federal and state level.

"Americans are paying the highest prescription drug prices in the world," said Executive Vice President and Chief Advocacy & Engagement Officer Nancy LeaMond. "It's time for pharmaceutical companies to stop deflecting blame and acknowledge that the root cause is the price they set for their products."

As part of the campaign, AARP Research conducted a national survey of likely voters ages 50 and older. The survey found that significant majorities of self-identified Republican, Democrat, and independent voters shared concerns about the high price of drugs, and support common-sense policies that will lower prices.
