New Opportunity Wisconsin print and digital ads highlight Steil’s votes to keep prescription drug prices high
Wednesday, February 14, 2024
KENOSHA, Wis. – This Valentine’s Day, Opportunity Wisconsin is asking Congressman Bryan Steil to keep health care costs low by opposing a bill to repeal the Inflation Reduction Act’s provisions that are already saving Wisconsinites money.
Full page newspaper ads are running across the First Congressional District this week, along with digital ads on local news sites. The ads also highlight Rep. Steil’s votes to keep prescription drug costs high. Steil voted against the Inflation Reduction Act, which capped insulin costs at $35, established a cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for Medicare enrollees, and gave Medicare the power to negotiate for lower drug prices.
On Tuesday, Opportunity Wisconsin also made their appeal directly to Rep. Steil, delivering custom candy hearts to his office in Bristol that say “Keep Our Costs Low” and “Oppose H.R. 812.”
“Congressman Steil has spent his time in Washington voting with Big Pharma companies, but this Valentine’s Day we hope he has a change of heart,” said Opportunity Wisconsin Program Director Meghan Roh. “Today, thanks to the Inflation Reduction Act, Wisconsinites have more money in their pockets and they’re able to access the affordable prescriptions they need. Repealing these successful reforms would be heartbreaking, which is why we’re asking Congressman Steil to do the right thing and work to keep our health care costs low instead.”
