Repeal the Medicare drug price negotiation program
What the document says“This “negotiation” program should be repealed”
The program, created by the Inflation Reduction Act, lets Medicare set prices for selected drugs. The chapter puts the word negotiation in quotation marks, and says that if the act is not repealed an Administration required to implement it must do so prudently, minimizing the harmful effects of the law's policies.
What the document actually says“This “negotiation” program should be repealed”
