With #Medicare & #Medicaid paying more for RX drugs, high prices are also increasing costs to taxpayers. The bipartisan Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act takes a number of steps to reduce RX drug costs & bring some common sense to our health care system. — PolitiTweet.org

While opioid overdose deaths have decreased, thanks in part to legislation I’ve help enact (#CARA, #CURES, #STOPAct), other drugs like fentanyl & meth continue to present major challenges in our communities. On the @senatefloor, I highlight how we can help stop it. — PolitiTweet.org

#LakeErie supports fishing & tourism industries totaling nearly $13B & is a top tourist destination in Ohio. I introduced the bipartisan Great Lakes Restoration Initiative Act in order to continue to protect our #GreatLakes for the economic and environmental well-being of #Ohio. — PolitiTweet.org

The American people must be able to participate in an open & meaningful public comment process to help fed. agencies devise smarter & better-informed regulations. Grateful to @USGAO for its work to review this issue & I look forward to our Sept hearing. https://t.co/s9y5OpOhr3 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

This new report was prompted, in part, by the thorough investigation done by @WSJ of several online regulatory commenting systems which found that thousands of posts on these online dockets are submitted under fraudulent identities. https://t.co/g8JgKcSz1n — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Permanent Subcmte on Investigations, which I chair, today released the findings of a new @USGAO report that highlights a lack of transparency in the public comment process. @SenatorCarper and I will hold a hearing on these findings in September. https://t.co/s9y5OpOhr3 — PolitiTweet.org

As I said on the @RicEdelman Show, my passion for retirement security stemmed from watching my dad start a business of his own & insist on setting up a profit-sharing plan, helping his employees have a more financially-secure retirement. https://t.co/EB3aruPR33 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Recently on the @RicEdelman Show, I discussed my bipartisan Retirement Security & Savings Act that I co-authored with @SenatorCardin. As I said, we’ve got to keep Social Security strong, but also encourage people to save more for their own retirement. https://t.co/EB3aruPR33 — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

It was great to meet with you! I’m grateful for all you do to help our brave men & women in blue across #Ohio and our nation. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

We can’t take our eyes off the ball. We must continue to support those on the frontlines of this crisis and support our communities that have been ravaged by this ongoing drug crisis. https://t.co/YHIZqdyUln — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today I gave my 58th @SenateFloor speech over the last 3yrs on our country’s drug crisis. We’re making progress on reducing overdose deaths. Legislation I’ve authored & supported like #CARA #CURES & #STOPAct are helping, but we must address the threats of #fentanyl & crystal meth — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I hear from employers all over #Ohio that we have shortage of skilled workers. B/c of the #PledgetoAmericasWorkers more companies are providing the skills & training workers need to succeed. Corey Adams is a great example of what's possible in manufacturing @ShopFloorNAM #JOBSAct — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Great #PledgetoAmericasWorkers event w/ @IvankaTrump & @RealDonaldTrump at the @WhiteHouse today, where they highlighted the success of Corey Adams from @StaubMfg in #Dayton, #Ohio. I met Corey earlier this year during my visit there. https://t.co/xSMiXsY2jn — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m committed to promoting greater access to rural broadband in #Ohio by encouraging public-private partnerships. Today my office participated in the SE Ohio Regional Broadband Forum w/ Connected Nation, APEG, the Governor’s office of Appalachia Director John Carey &local leaders https://t.co/WwJqXOrC1e — PolitiTweet.org

I enjoyed visiting and celebrating with Rabbi Gershon Avtzon today. He founded the Yeshivas Lubavitch school for boys in #Cincinnati & had the honor of giving the invocation this morning in the #House of Representatives. https://t.co/TjfHhcUorF — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I look forward to working with @SenFinance & my Senate colleagues to advance this legislation to crack down on high prescription drug prices, & I urge the full #Senate to pass this measure soon. https://t.co/uA0QT1U3nO — PolitiTweet.org

I led an investigation into how one drug manufacturer exploited the #opioidcrisis by increasing the $ of its naloxone by >600%. The company used a distribution model that encouraged patients to bypass more affordable & equally effective alternatives for a more expensive product. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The Prescription Drug Pricing Reduction Act passed by @SenFinance today also includes my amendment requiring @HHSgov to study the influence of drug manufacturer distribution models that encourage patients & taxpayers to pay more for drugs when more affordable drugs are available — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Each year, #Medicare & private health insurers waste nearly $3B on cancer medications alone that are thrown out because the drugs are packaged in vials that hold too much for most patients. This is wrong & my legislation will stop this practice. https://t.co/rtVMt5vkxD — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The bill @SenFinance passed today to crack down on high prescription drug prices includes legislation I co-authored w/ @SenatorDurbin to allow #Medicare to recoup $ from drug companies that were paid for wasted medications, saving $ for seniors & taxpayers. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

The bill I supported today & passed by @SenFinance, will help lower out-of-pocket costs for our seniors, cracks down on the high prices set by drug manufacturers, ends the practice of spread pricing in Medicaid & saves taxpayers more than $100 billion. https://t.co/uA0QT1U3nO — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

With #Medicare & #Medicaid paying more & more for prescription drugs, high prices are also increasing costs to taxpayers & that’s why it’s important for #Congress to act. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I hear a lot from #Ohioans who are tired of the rising costs of prescription drugs. They should not have to choose between paying their mortgage or rent & being able to afford expensive prescription drugs for themselves or their children. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

Today @SenFinance & #Congress took a number of common-sense steps to reduce the high price of prescription drugs and bring some common sense to our health care system. — PolitiTweet.org

Rob Portman @senrobportman

I’m grateful for the hard work my summer interns have done for #Ohio. We are looking for great interns for this Fall who want to learn more about the Senate. The deadline to apply is tomorrow.
