Budd Sides With Big Pharma Over Lowering Prescription Drug Costs For North Carolinians

If Congressman Budd’s record of taking money from the pharmaceutical industry and voting in their interest wasn’t bad enough, he’s now actively campaigning on siding with Big Pharma over working to lower costs for North Carolinians struggling with the skyrocketing prices of prescription drugs. 

Catch up on just the last week: 

  • Congressman Budd went on Fox News yesterday to suggest that there should be further incentives for the industry, even as drug companies are irresponsibly price gouging working families and making record profits.
  • In a recent radio interview, he also implied that the status quo of the prescription drug market is working, even as North Carolinians have opened up about rationing insulin.

“It is becoming clearer and clearer by the day that Congressman Budd is nothing more than a corrupt career politician that will repeatedly vote in the interest of his corporate backers like Big Pharma instead of doing what’s best for North Carolinians,” said NCDP spokesperson Kate Frauenfelder.
