McConnell says drug prices are on the agenda, Obamacare is off
8 November 2018 - Congress’s health-care priorities are likely to focus on drug prices as Obamacare repeal becomes a non-starter for a split legislature, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday.
On changes to Obamacare, “I think it is very obvious that a Democratic House is not going to be interested in that,” McConnell said at a post-midterm elections news conference in Washington, after Democrats won control of the House of Representatives and Republicans added to their control of the Senate.
Instead, it’s more likely that the parties will find common ground on pharmaceutical costs -- also a major issue for President Donald Trump.
