'It's gross, and deeply unpatriotic, for the big corporations to be rolling around in cash while charging us record-high prices for gas and groceries,' wrote JohnFetterman.
, pharmaceutical companies in the U.S. have raised drug prices more than 1,100 times so far this year.
"Let's be clear: Dr. Oz just isn't connected to the struggles that Pennsylvanians are facing every day," Fetterman wrote in his new op-ed."While he's been complaining about rising prices from his New Jersey Mansion, I've been meeting Pennsylvanians on grocery store runs, speaking with them about the challenges they're facing, and finding real policy solutions that get stuff done and make their lives better.
"Working Pennsylvanians are getting screwed," he continued."While costs are rising and wages are failing to keep up, too many of our leaders in Washington simply aren't doing enough. Out-of-touch politicians got us into this mess, we can't trust an out-of-touch millionaire TV doctor to get us out of it."
In addition to prosecuting corporate executives for price-gouging and other abuses, Fetterman voices support for a range of policy solutions aimed at tackling rising costs and inequality, including:Ending the stranglehold of healthcare costs on American families by instituting a cap of a thousand dollars per year on out-of-pocket costs;
Passing legislation to allow for the importation of lower-priced prescription drugs from other countries; and"If we start getting stuff done, starting with these priorities I've listed," Fetterman wrote,"we can make real change for the towns, cities, and people of Pennsylvania."
