Expanded access or price controls for prescription drugs? by Natalie Adona, Mar 5, 2008 (3:51pm)
Groups that support S 3 believe this bill will allow for negotiation of lower drug prices for citizens within the Medicare system. Supporters point the fact that the Department of Veteran Affairs and state Medicaid programs already have the capability to use their purchasing power to negotiate for lower drug prices, and so urge the passage of this bill with the hopes that drug prices will become substantially lower for Medicare participants. Opponents of S 3 believe that Medicare has already been a substantial success, and fear that the bill will create price controls for drugs that would subsequently limit access. Other opponents believe the bill would essentially allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services to control the prices charged by competing companies for prescription drugs.
