Democrats Split Over Measures to Cut Drug Prices

Wall Street Journal: “Democrats are debating whether to fold an effort to cut drug prices — by allowing Medicare to negotiate — into a budget package or try to pass the measure on its own.”

“Many Democrats now see a budget package, which could clear the evenly divided Senate with just a simple majority, as their best shot at overhauling the system. But intraparty divisions over policy issues could complicate that path, and some lawmakers are advocating for making more modest changes with GOP support.”
