This bill incentivizes drug manufacturers to negotiate Most Favored Nation (MFN) pricing agreements with the Trump Administration. Manufacturers that decline to agree by December 2028 would be required to provide Medicare MFN pricing for five years.
I will support legislation that codifies Most Favored Nation prescription drug pricing agreements and enforces lower Medicare drug prices if manufacturers do not agree by a set deadline.
Occurrences
To amend title XI of the Social Security Act to require the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to test a model implementing most-favored-nation drug pricing.
Evidence
Meuser said he introduced the Most Favored Patient Act to lower prescription drug costs, codify existing Most Favored Nation deals, and require Medicare MFN pricing for five years if manufacturers did not agree by Dec. 31, 2028.
The bill text amends the Social Security Act to require CMMI to test a Most Favored Nations Pricing Model beginning Jan. 1, 2029; it sets a covered-agreement deadline of Dec. 31, 2028 and applies Medicare MFN pricing to holdouts.
Assessments
The promise was to support legislation with specific Most Favored Nation drug-pricing terms, not necessarily to enact it into law. Evidence shows Meuser introduced the Most Favored Patient Act in March 2026, and the bill text matches the pledge by codifying MFN-style pricing arrangements, setting a manufacturer agreement deadline of December 31, 2028, and imposing lower Medicare MFN pricing on holdouts. For a federal House member, introducing and backing the exact legislation promised is sufficient to count as delivery of a support-legislation pledge.
