HHS secretary: recent drug price increases 'creating a tipping point'
9 July 2018 - Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar on Monday rebuked drug companies for recent price increases.
"Change is coming to prescription drug pricing, whether it’s painful or not for pharmaceutical companies," Azar said in a speech Monday at a health policy conference.
Azar's comments follow Pfizer's decision to raise the list prices of more than 100 prescription drugs.
