22 July 2019 - A top aide to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Monday that House Democrats will unveil their long-awaited bill to lower drug prices in September.
Wendell Primus, Pelosi's top health care adviser, said House leadership is almost ready to release the proposal but is opting to wait and not leave drug companies the opportunity to attack the bill during the Congressional recess next month.
“Pharma will argue very hard against drug negotiation of the kind we're talking about,” Primus said at an event hosted by the Brookings Institution in Washington.
