Steps for Writing a Letter to Rick Scott

 

STEP 1: Write a Letter to Senator Scott!

• In your letter, identify yourself, list your concern, and ask Senator Scott to share his position on Medicare negotiations.
• Ask Senator Scott a direct question: More than 80% of Americans support allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices. Will you listen to your constituents or move to repeal the law?
• Ask Senator Scott to provide a written response within two weeks that provides a clarification of his position on this issue.

 

See the Sample Below:

Dear Senator Scott:

My name is [insert name]. I’m a retiree in [insert city], Florida, who depends on prescription medicines to manage my blood pressure, cholesterol and asthma. I am very happy that Congress has passed the Inflation Reduction Act to lower drug costs for people with Medicare but I’m also very worried that some Members of Congress are trying to repeal the new law before it even goes into effect.

I would like to know if you support the repeal of this law and negotiations in Medicare. Please send me a written response with your official position on this issue in the next two weeks. Send the response to [insert address].

Thanks for responding to my request and your consideration for constituents.

Sincerely,

Name, Address
