Wyden Hails Announcement of Next 15 Drugs Tapped for Medicare Negotiation

Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Ron Wyden, D-Ore., today issued a statement after the Biden Administration announced the 15 prescription drugs covered by Medicare Part D that will be negotiated by Medicare this year:

“Donald Trump spent his first four years as president talking a big game about standing up to Big Pharma with nothing to show for it. Democrats took action in less than two years to finally allow Medicare to use the bargaining power of millions of seniors to deliver lower drug prices.”

“Today’s announcement is welcome news, and a timely reminder of which party is working to bring down costs for American seniors and families, especially for drugs that help them conquer cancer, heart disease, obesity and more. It is now up to Donald Trump to follow through on these negotiations and prove he’s on the side of American seniors and families, not Big Pharma.”
