Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin on Medicare Drug Negotiations
Michigan Congresswoman and former CIA analyst Elissa Slotkin discussed the need for Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices. Critics pointed out that such negotiations could be authorized through administrative law without the multi-trillion-dollar Build Back Better bill. The insistence on linking these negotiations to massive spending packages is viewed by some as a "scam" to subsidize pharmaceutical companies with taxpayer funds.
