Our Mission
Taking on the Crisis of High Drug Prices In America
High drug prices are among the most egregious examples of corporate interests undermining our political system and imperiling the lives and wellbeing of ordinary citizens. Prescription Justice is a non-profit, non-partisan organization, welcoming people and organizations from all parties into our movement. We stand with the majority of Americans — Republicans, Democrats and Independents alike — united in overwhelming support for solutions that substantially lower drug prices.
What We Work On
Advocating for serious
regulatory and legislative reforms.
Bringing people together
on a bi-partisan basis to
end the crisis of high drug prices.
Who We Are
Prescription Justice, a 501c4 non-profit organization, brings together doctors, lawyers, public health and consumer advocates, and political activists dedicated to lowering drug prices in the United States. We advocate for all Americans, registered with all political parties, who are sick of high drug prices, and tired of greedy drug companies and the politicians they control. We also stand up for those who need to access more affordable imported medications now and stand against actions by the pharmaceutical industry that mislead and misinform the public.
National Student Advocacy Committee.
The National Student Advocacy Committee (NSAC) brings together student advocates from various undergraduate and medical institutions across the country to build support for and further Prescription Justice’s legislative and policy agenda to end the crisis of high drug prices. NSAC has develops advocacy materials for students and other activists, reaches out to members of Congress, and collaborates with like-minded public interest organizations around the country to push congress to take forceful action to lower drug prices.
Forty-five million Americans did not fill a prescription in 2016 due to cost. Millions often choose between food and medicine in the world’s richest country. Forgoing prescribed medication leads to sickness and death, and even larger healthcare costs from hospitalizations when patients stop taking their medications. Prescription Justice is dedicated to ending this crisis of high drug prices.
