Solutions in the PATIENT Act—like increasing price transparency and addressing the cost of prescription drugs—are supported by the vast majority of Americans. Nearly 90% of Americans support strengthening price transparency requirements and nearly 85% of Americans favor solutions that prevent them from having to pay more for their prescription drugs than their insurance company.
