Patients are seeing fewer choices, higher prices, and fewer cures, while the American pharmaceutical industry — which currently leads the world in the development of new medicines — is now in jeopardy of losing its competitive advantage on the rest of the world. “Make no mistake, price fixing has failed in every sector and in every country where it has ever been tried. The Biden-Harris Administration says it wants to lower prices for families, but their prescription drug price fixing scheme has accomplished just two things: driving up health care costs and crushing American innovation in medicine.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:36:13Z |
