Durbin, Klobuchar, Welch, Colleagues File Amicus Brief Urging Court To Uphold Medicare's Ability To Negotiate Lower Prescription Drug Prices
Press Release
Issues: Health and Health Care
"Merck's lawsuit is a shameless attempt to use the judiciary to overturn the clearly expressed intent of the legislature and the American people. By allowing Medicare to negotiate prices, the Inflation Reduction Act puts the physical and financial health of patients over corporate profits. Medicare's new capacity to negotiate prescription drug prices is bringing Medicare in line with other government agencies like the VA, and it's just the beginning of our fight. I'm proud to partner with my friend and colleague Senator Klobuchar today, and I will continue to stand up for affordable health care for all Americans."
