I have been on the forefront of fighting to allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, limit the out-of-pocket costs to $35 a month for life saving insulin and reducing the cost of prescriptions for all families.
Allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices.
Occurrences
Evidence
The House roll call for H.R. 5376 shows Donald Norcross (D-NJ) voting Yea on the motion to concur in the Senate amendment, the vote that cleared the Inflation Reduction Act for enactment.
Public Law 117-169, enacted Aug. 16, 2022, includes the Medicare Drug Price Negotiation Program and states that the Secretary shall negotiate and, if applicable, renegotiate maximum fair prices for selected drugs.
Assessments
Medicare was authorized to negotiate prescription drug prices in the Inflation Reduction Act, enacted on August 16, 2022, while Donald Norcross was in office. He also voted for the House motion that cleared the bill for enactment, so the promised outcome was substantively delivered in the same term.
