Washington’s answer to rising health premiums: more subsidies.

But subsidies don’t lower costs—they hide them.

Real affordability comes from consumer choice, HSAs, and competition in healthcare. ⬇️

Sally Pipes @sallypipes

If policymakers are serious about affordability, they should empower patients — not double down on subsidies.

Right on point.

Strong patent protections are the foundation of medical innovation. Undermining them doesn’t help patients, it slows the development of the next generation of cures.

Sally Pipes @sallypipes

The “patent abuse” talking point ignores a key fact: 9 in 10 U.S. prescriptions are filled with generics — the highest rate in the world. Our system promotes both innovation and competition. Undermining patents means fewer new medicines and worse outcomes for patients.
