Senate Takes Up Drug Pricing Legislation

The Senate HELP Committee is taking up four bills – S 1607 (Ensuring Timely Access to Generics Act of 2023), S 1214 (Retaining Access and Restoring Exclusivity Act of 2023), S 1114 (Expanding Access to Low-Cost Generics Act of 2023), and S 1339 (Pharmacy Benefit Manager Reform Act) – introduced with a focus on regulating drug prices in one way or another. The Committee has planned a “markup” wherein amendments to the introduced legislation will be considered and voted on.
