When President Biden came into office, he promised to fight to lower health care costs for American families. By passing the Inflation Reduction Act, the President and Congressional Democrats finally allowed Medicare to negotiate lower prescription drug prices for seniors – while every single Republican in Congress voted against it.
Big Pharma and their allies have filed lawsuits all around the country to try to block Medicare from getting the best deal for American seniors. Today, a district court in Delaware rejected their efforts. This represents the third district court to side with the Administration in cases challenging the President’s prescription drug law, and is the first case to be fully decided on the merits.
While Big Pharma continues to use the courts to try to thwart lower prices for consumers, today’s win is an important victory. The President will never stop fighting to lower drug costs for the American people.
