U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, during his recent visit to Plattsburgh, New York, addressed two key issues: the high cost of prescription drugs and concerns over Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). In relation to drug prices, Schumer said he supports the Elijah E. Cummings Lower Drug Costs Now Act, which would allow Medicare to negotiate prices directly with drug companies, potentially reducing costs significantly. Regarding EEE, Schumer urged the federal government to increase funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to research and combat the virus.
