One Drug Pricing Order Is Still Missing; Another Draws Fire
A promised executive order that would tie drug prices to their costs in other countries has yet to emerge, although President Donald Trump has promoted the order as part of his re-election campaign. Meanwhile, payers and PBMs are continuing to push back against three executive orders the Trump administration issued in July with the intention of lowering drug prices, one of which would overhaul the Medicare Part D prescription drug rebate system.
Avalere Health founder Dan Mendelson tells AIS Health that the disjointed rollout of the executive orders doesn’t alter their impact.
