Patients give voice to call for drug pricing transparency

A new website aims to bring needed transparency to skyrocketing drug prices and give patients the opportunity to tell their stories. 
TruthinRx.org is an interactive website that lends an ear to patients who want to share their stories of how rising prices are affecting their health and finances. The grassroots campaign, launched this month by the AMA, will use patient and physician voices to urge Congress to take action on these growing price increases on medications that, for some people, could mean the difference between life and death.

The site will be continually updated with a gallery of curated videos and testimonials and ways for the public to take action or send a message to Congress.
