“We strongly oppose lawmakers’ new reconciliation language as it would double down on failed prescription drug pricing proposals and uses the Medicare program as a pay-for to address their government mismanagement. Time and time again, mature Americans have warned price control policies would cause massive cuts to drug innovation, leading to fewer treatment options and longer wait times for care.
