| Susan Wild helped keep medical costs under control for seniors by voting for the Inflation Reduction Act, so that now Medicare can negotiate lower drug prices. | Seniors: About 17 percent of our community are seniors. The Inflation Reduction Act provided crucial relief to seniors by allowing Medicare to negotiate with drug companies over the price of medicine – keeping lifesaving medicine affordable. | Ryan Mackenzie cannot be relied on to support legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, which allowed Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices for seniors, according to news sources. |
| Susan Wild protected rental assistance and first-time homebuyer programs that Republicans tried to cut with their Limit, Save, Grow Act, protecting critical benefits for working families. | Making Housing Affordable: About 15 percent of people in this community can barely afford the cost of housing. The Republican’s “Limit, Save, Grow Act” would have resulted in an estimated 2 million people being blocked from getting the federal rental assistance they need to obtain or maintain stable housing. | Ryan Mackenzie wants to reduce or eliminate rental assistance programs for struggling families, according to news sources. |
| Susan Wild supported the Inflation Reduction Act, which capped insulin costs to $35 a month for seniors on Medicare. | Making Insulin Cheaper: Our community struggles with higher than usual rates of diabetes. In fact, 12 percent of people here live with the condition. The Inflation Reduction Act capped the soaring price of insulin, a lifesaving medication for people with diabetes, at $35 a month. | Ryan Mackenzie cannot be relied on to support reauthorizing measures like the Inflation Reduction Act that cap insulin and other health costs to save Americans millions, according to news sources. |
