Our Mission
Taking on the Crisis of High Drug Prices In America
Maximize access to safe and affordable imported drugs through executive authority and legislative reforms.
Expand safe prescription drug importation. The top-selling patented, brand-name drugs cost about 75% less in other high-income countries. That is unfair to Americans. Big Pharma says drugs in other countries are dangerous. Ridiculous. The exact same or equally safe and effective foreign versions of FDA-approved drugs are sold in other countries. Expressly permitting personal prescription drug importation in the short-term and allowing commercial-scale importation in the longer term – beyond Canada – will lead to drug price parity with America's allied trading partners
What We Work On
Advocating the rational expansion of safe drug importation
Bringing America together to advance our shared vision for lower drug prices
Who We Are
Prescription Justice, a 501c4 non-profit organization, brings together doctors, lawyers, public health and consumer advocates, businesses, and political activists dedicated to lowering drug prices for Americans through safe importation. Our goal is to end the crisis of high drug prices in America.
We advocate for all Americans, registered with all political parties (or none), who are sick of high drug prices. Tens of millions of Americans do not fill their prescriptions each year because of cost. On average, the prices for brand-name drugs are over 400% higher in the U.S. than in other high-income countries. That cannot continue. Millions of our people are forced to choose between food and medicine in the world’s richest country, forgoing prescribed medication that often leads to sickness and death, not to mention even greater healthcare costs from hospitalizations when patients stop taking their medications.
Expanding access to the importation of lower-cost drugs will end the great drug price disparity between the U.S. and other countries.
