But today, pharmaceutical corporations are exploiting loopholes in the law in order to gain even greater monopoly power and reap ever more massive profits. But apparently that wasn’t enough, because now, prescription drug companies and their Washington lobbyists are pushing a new bill―the Orphan Product Extensions Now (OPEN) Act―which would grant drug manufacturers six additional months of exclusivity. It’s estimated that this new law would cost patients and taxpayers up to $11.6 billion over 10 years―padding the pockets of the greedy pharmaceutical industry and keeping our drug prices the highest in the world. Stand with Social Security Works to oppose the OPEN Act and say no to drug company monopolies. https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/drug-corporations-greed-knows-no-end
