House GOP blocks Trump supported drug pricing provision from spending bill

The Hill

13 September 2018 - House Republicans on Thursday blocked a drug pricing amendment supported by President Trump from inclusion in a health-care spending bill.

The provision, which passed the Senate on a bipartisan basis last month, would require drug prices to be disclosed in television advertisements for drugs in an effort to increase transparency and bring down prices.

Lawmakers and aides said that House Republicans objected to including the provision in the final version of the funding bill, which was finished by House and Senate negotiators on Thursday.
