Biden to deliver ‘forceful’ call for Congress to lower drug prices
| President Biden on Thursday will deliver a “forceful” call for Congress to act to lower prescription drug prices, a White House official said, as the president shines a spotlight on a key part of Democrats’ upcoming spending package.
In a speech on lowering drug prices Thursday morning, Biden will “deliver a forceful call to action for Congress to act by allowing Medicare to negotiate drug prices and passing his Build Back Better Agenda,” the official said. Lowering drug prices will be a key part of Democrats’ anticipated $3.5 trillion spending package, and can help pay for the measure. |
