On Aug 7th, 2022, the US House of representatives passed a bill on budget reconciliation which included a section on US Drug pricing reform (Part B). The reform requires federal government to negotiate drug prices under Medicare to ensure significant discounts on branded therapies and eliminate annual price increases. The bill further requires pharmaceutical companies to pay rebates if drug prices rise faster than inflation for Medicare and private insurances.
