Healthcare Finance: Appeals court upholds Drug Price Negotiation Program

Patients For Affordable Drugs (P4AD) said it submitted four amicus briefs on behalf of patients and signed onto seven briefs supported by Protect Our Care, Doctors for America, and Families USA to support the government’s opposition to the lawsuits.

P4AD Executive Director Merith Basey said, “This decision marks the 10th court ruling in favor of patients and against the pharmaceutical industry’s desperate legal attacks on the overwhelmingly popular Medicare Negotiation Program, which in January will deliver lower prices to more than 9 million patients across the nation.”
