American families deserve real healthcare affordability, but MFN drug pricing is not the answer. It risks nearly $600B in U.S. biopharma investment and the union jobs that support life-saving innovation.

Awareness Check:
Construction workers face one of the highest suicide rates of any industry.
In fact, they account for nearly 1 in 5 suicide deaths, despite being a much smaller share of the workforce.
This is a workforce crisis.
If you or someone you know is struggling, support is available:
Call or text: 988
Construction Careline: 1-833-444-6020
Reaching out is a sign of strength.
You don’t have to handle it on your own.
Everyday Americans own over 80% of the biopharma industry through their pensions and retirement accounts. A new study from @ndpanalytics finds MFN pricing policies could wipe out billions in equity value and cut pension returns for millions of Americans. ow.ly/KMgX50YWMpZ
