Reject A-4953 & S-3842: Stop Higher Prescription Drug Costs in New Jersey

Trenton politicians are pushing Assembly Bill 4953 and Senate Bill 3842—proposals that would hike prescription drug costs and health care costs for New Jersey families, workers, and employers. These bills even carve out special protections for lawmakers, letting them avoid the very cost increases they want to impose on everyone else.

Higher costs for families, workers, and employers
Special treatment for politicians
No real benefit for hardworking New Jerseyans

New Jersey’s cost of living is already too high. Don’t let Trenton lawmakers raise drug costs for working families while exempting themselves. Tell your elected officials: Vote NO on A-4953 and S-3842.

Dear [Lawmaker],

I am writing as your constituent to urge you to oppose Assembly Bill 4953 and Senate Bill 3842, fundamentally misguided proposals that would increase prescription drug costs and health care costs for New Jersey families, employers and unions – while exempting elected officials in Trenton from these cost increases.
At a time when hardworking New Jersey families are already struggling with the high cost of living, these policies would make things worse. If these bills were going to have a positive impact, their authors would not have exempted themselves.
Assembly Bill 4953 and Senate Bill 3842 would ban pay-for-performance incentives in the private health care marketplace that employers and unions rely on to lower prescription drug costs for the working people who rely on them for health insurance coverage. Higher prescription drug costs for New Jersey employers and unions will result in higher out-of-pocket costs for New Jersey patients.
New Jersey families deserve affordable health care — not higher out-of-pocket health care costs and prescription drug costs.
I urge you to stand with hardworking families, employers and unions and vote NO on Assembly Bill 4953 and Senate Bill 3842.
Thank you for your consideration and commitment to your constituents.

Sincerely,
______
