Senate Republicans aren't sure how to respond to House Democrats finally passing a massive bill aimed at lowering drug prices
After months of wrangling, House Democrats finally passed a massive bill aimed at lowering drug prices. And Senate Republicans are flummoxed at how to respond.
“Thank goodness Republicans control the Senate. That said, we still need something to make medicines affordable.”“God, I don’t know. We’re stuck with a price control concept,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham , referring to his opposition to Grassley’s bill. Trump “is non-conventional as a Republican. He would go to price controls … [McConnell] probably wants what I want.”
“Thank goodness Republicans control the Senate. That said, we still need something to make medicines affordable,” said Bill Cassidy , who voted for Grassley’s effort in committee and still backs it. Last year, Grassley was among the senators pushing for action on criminal justice reform in the face of an ambivalent McConnell, who feared risking a rebellion from his conservative members. Only when Trump leaned directly on McConnell did the majority leader move, and Democrats are holding out hope something similar plays out this time.
