Biden announced the first 10 prescription drugs subject to price negotiations with Medicare.

It’s estimated to cut prices for certain drugs by half — leading to savings for seniors.

Big Pharma has of course sued.

If you wanted a sign that this is good policy, look no further.

@rbreich Big Pharma already negotiates with the VA, right? But not to worry, they've jacked up the prices of generics now in anticipation of having to rein in prices on the top 10. My decades-old generic doubled in price to me, and pharmacy says it's quadrupled for them.
