Davids Votes to Lower Health Care Costs, Create Clean Energy Jobs, Reduce Deficit

Press Release

In keeping with her commitment to lower costs for Kansas families and businesses, today, Representative Sharice Davids voted to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, comprehensive legislation that will lower health care and energy costs and reduce the national debt by more than $300 billion. The bill includes key priorities that Davids has pushed for including allowing Medicare to negotiate for lower prescription drug costs and capping insulin costs at $35 a month for seniors on Medicare.

"Kansans I speak to daily are worried about rising prices on everything from medicines to gas to groceries," said Davids. "After today, many of the solutions I've sought to address these concerns -- capping the cost of insulin, allowing Medicare to negotiate for lower prices on prescription drugs, supporting clean energy jobs, all while lowering the deficit -- will soon be signed into law. While no bill is perfect, we can't understate the massive, concrete difference this will make for families. I was proud to support it and will keep fighting for Kansans."
