Proposed Trump Administration Rule Would Require Drugmakers To Include Prices In Television Ads.

reports that on Monday, HHS Secretary Alex Azar unveiled a proposed rule which would require pharmaceutical companies “to include the list price of medicines in television advertisements to consumers – the boldest in a series of efforts by the Trump administration to curb rampant drug spending.” Under the proposal, “drug manufacturers would need to disclose in ads the list price of a 30-day supply of any drug that is covered through Medicare and Medicaid and costs more than $35 a month.” Speaking before the National Academy of Medicine, Azar said, “Sometimes it takes government to make the first move, to disrupt a broken system, and to lay down new rules of the road.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/
