"I hope the message is getting through that, on a bipartisan basis, we're kind of reaching the end of our tether" on drug pricing, Rep. John Sarbanes (D-Md.) said as he warned witnesses from the various industries involved in the supply chain that if they don't address the problem, Congress may go in a direction they won't like. One possibility would be to treat drugs like a utility, he said. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
