'Farm Bill programs should be revised to incentivize fruits, vegetables, and other healthy foods and to make them more accessible and affordable.'

Case in point: #pharma giant #Merck. The #InflationReductionAct (#IRA) includes a provision that allows #Medicare to (finally) start (weakly) negotiating the prices it pays for (a tiny handful of) drugs.

#ActionAlert - Daily Kos & Feeding America
Tell Congress: Reauthorize the Commodity Supplemental Food Program. The CSFP helps low-income seniors get healthy food each month. The program can continue via the 2023 #FarmBill—a chance that only comes once every five years. Sign Feeding America's life-or-death petition; tell Congress to pass the Farm Bill and fund the CSFP so poor seniors don't starve.
