On Friday the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services finalized regulations to eliminate middlemen from reaping drug discounts for Medicare beneficiaries and instead deliver drug discounts directly to seniors at the pharmacy counter, resulting in cost savings for Medicare recipients. Since coming to Congress, U.S. Congressman Roger Marshall, M.D. has lead the charge for regulatory reform and worked with the Congressional GOP Doc Caucus and HHS Deputy Secretary Eric Hargan to remove the costly and burdensome middlemen from the pharmaceutical industry and deliver millions of dollars in savings directly to Americans. I applaud the Administration for delivering these much-needed reforms to our healthcare system,said Rep. Marshall.The evidence of pharmacy benefit managers distorting the prescription drug marketplace is overwhelming and I applaud the administration for finalizing rules that puts patients first. This is a monumental step forward in bringing transparency and justice in drug pricing. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
