    Claire: “Insys took an anything-goes approach to push sales higher and distorted the doctor-patient relationship with outside compensation, just so pharmaceutical executives could line their pockets—it’s disgusting."

    “The bigger the script, the more money you make.” Claire’s latest report shows how one drug company PAID sales reps to push physicians to prescribe high doses of their fentanyl drug – all for the sake of profit. Here’s the story:

    Claire’s heard it time and time again: healthcare costs are is TOO HIGH for Missourians. And rather than work towards solutions, the Administration’s “junk” plans won’t do anything to fix that – in fact, they’ll probably make it even worse. Claire won’t stop fighting back.

    Claire’s always fought to keep pre-existing condition protections & tackle rising healthcare and prescription drug costs – but “junk” insurance plans could increase costs for Missourians & reduce access to quality healthcare for seniors & those with pre-existing conditions.

    In a partisan effort to undermine protections for those with preexisting conditions, the Administration is attempting to expand “junk” bare-bones, temporary health insurance plans… but Claire’s pushing back. Because they’re just that: Junk.
