I know there was a ton going on last week in D.C. and in Lansing, but buried in all that news was a critical item: Republicans in the Michigan Senate took an awful procedural vote that protected big drug companies’ interests — at the expense of Michiganders. (1/5)
Did you know that Michigan is the only state in the entire country that protects pharmaceutical companies from any kind of lawsuit if the products they make cause serious harm or death? The only one. (2/5)
That means that Michiganders are unable to legally hold these corporations accountable when their drugs cause destruction in our communities. (3/5)
Both Democratic and Republican-led states know it’s crazy to shield big companies from a citizen who became disabled from a bag drug, or who got addicted to drugs that were supposedly not addictive. (4/5)
So what’s the goal in voting to protect drug companies over the citizens you represent? I'll be exploring action I can take at the federal level to help Michigan join the ranks of the other 49 states that provide this basic right to its citizens. (5/5)
