Over the weekend, while Senate Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act, legislation that lowers costs for families and fights inflation, Senate Republicans voted against making prescription drug prices like insulin cheaper for American families. After blocking bills that would prevent oil companies from price gouging, make baby formula more available, and help lower costs, Senate Republicans have shown once again that they are more interested in siding with Big Pharma than the American people. 

Across the country, headlines are slamming ultra-MAGA Republicans who voted against lowering costs for this essential, life-saving care:
