Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America

7 August 2022 - PhRMA President and CEO Stephen J. Ubl released the following statement after the U.S. Senate passed a reconciliation spending bill, which includes a proposal that would allow the government to set prices for prescription medicines:

“Today’s vote may feel like a political win for Democrats, but it’s really a tragic loss for patients. This drug pricing plan is based on a litany of false promises. They say they’re fighting inflation, but the Biden administration’s own data show that prescription medicines are not fuelling inflation."
