The House will vote on Speaker Pelosi's sweeping drug pricing bill next week, Democratic leadership announced this morning
The House will vote on Speaker Nancy Pelosi's sweeping drug pricing bill next week, Democratic leadership announced Thursday morning.
The timing would give new Democratic members a vote on an issue sure to loom large in the 2020 elections and show that Democrats can legislate during impeachment proceedings.Left unclear is whether there will be a complete score of the projected savings from the legislation prior to the vote. Pelosi's office has said leaders wanted a full score before bringing the bill to the floor.
The bill has virtually no chance of being taken up in the Republican-controlled Senate. And it could face constitutional challenges. An analysis from congressional legal advisers cautioned that the bill’s provisions limiting drug prices could run afoul of the Fifth Amendment’s takings clause as well as the Eighth Amendment’s excessive fines clause.
