Americas2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported44m ago
On Wednesday, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA), the primary trade group for the brand-name drug industry, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court against the Trump administration.
The legal action targets a pilot program designed to mandate lower drug prices within the Medicare health insurance program by tying them to the lower costs found in peer countries overseas.
PhRMA is seeking to invalidate the administration's policy, arguing that the initiative constitutes an illegal government overreach.
