WASHINGTON D.C. — U.S. Reps. Annie Kuster (D-N.H.) and David B. McKinley, P.E. (R-W.V.) introduced the Ensuring Access to Lower-Cost Medicines for Seniors Act, legislation to lower the cost of generic drugs for Americans on Medicare, saving seniors billions of dollars annually.

Last year, low-cost generic medications saved Medicare patients over $90 billion, but those savings are at risk because an increasing number of these medicines have been moved into the same category as more expensive brand name drugs.
