EXCLUSIVE – A conservative advocacy group that backs Republican causes is going up in over 40 congressional districts controlled by House Democrats with a major ad blitz targeting a bill that aims to regulate and lower prescription drug prices, describing the plan as Nancy Pelosi s socialist drug takeover plan.
The American Action Network on Thursday is unveiling a new issue advocacy campaign in 43 House districts to stop what it calls the House speaker s dangerous plan, which the group argues could mean fewer cures for life-threatening diseases and less access to breakthrough new treatments, like the COVID-19 vaccines.

House Democrats are under attack for supporting Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s “socialist prescription drug takeover” in a new television advertising campaign run by a Republican group.
American Action Network, a political nonprofit group affiliated with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, is spending more than $4 million to run ads in a dozen districts held by incumbent Democrats. The spot dings the Democrats for H.R. 3, dubbed the Lower Drug Costs Now Act, claiming the bill would stifle the ability the research and development of new, life-saving prescription drugs by imposing federal limits on what pharmaceutical companies can charge for medication.
