It's the first step in a process that will mean lower prices in 2026 ― unless the drug industry and its allies find a way to block it.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. The "success" that first came to mind is our current $4.25 per gallon gas prices (and that's for the cheap stuff).

As for the OP -- Trump was working on affordable pharmaceuticals before Pedo became the Puppet of the United States.

Don't count your chickens before they are hatched. Assuming this means that these 10 drugs will be cheaper than they were before (remember, that is an assumption), the probable outcome of this will be that Big Pharma will just charge more for all of the other meds to make up the difference and Biden will go on a tour telling us how great a job he did.

Obama basically did the same thing in outlawing certain bank fees that banks charged so banks just came up with different fees.

With our split Congressional majorities, Executive action is the best we can expect on healthcare matters.

The only way it doesn’t happen ( and increase in scope) is if Republicans stop it

At whose expense?

At whose expense?

Lol...
Yeah I'd like to think they're just lowering the cost but you know you're probably right. Probably some back room government subsidy with boomerang bucks for the chosen legislators.

If they raise prices on other drugs, they cut the taxpayers a nice big check.

The Inflation Reduction Act requires drug manufacturers to pay a rebate to the federal government if prices for single-source drugs and biologicals covered under Medicare Part B and nearly all covered drugs under Part D increase faster than the rate of inflation (CPI-U). Price changes will be measured based on the average sales price for Part B drugs and the average manufacturer price for Part D drugs. If price increases are higher than inflation, manufacturers will be required to pay the difference in the form of a rebate to Medicare. The rebate amount is equal to the total number of units sold in Medicare multiplied by the amount, if any, by which a drug’s price in a given year exceeds the inflation-adjusted price. For Part B drugs with price increases greater than inflation, beneficiary coinsurance will be based on 20% of the drug’s lower inflation-adjusted price. The base year for measuring cumulative price changes relative to inflation is 2021.
