Senators Unveil Bipartisan Bill to Lower Drug Costs

Sens. Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Peter Welch (D-VT) “are teaming up on bipartisan legislation aimed at lowering drug costs by barring drug companies in the U.S. from charging higher prices than the international average,” Politico reports.

“While their bill is different from what the Trump administration is proposing to help finance the GOP’s megabill of tax cuts and extensions, border security investments and more, it underscores the cross-party and populist interest in cracking down on pharmaceutical companies.”
