Biden will sign an executive order directing administration officials to consider further actions to lower prescription drug costs.

With less than a month before the midterms, Biden is focusing on health care costs to help position Democratic candidates.Biden's order would compliment the Inflation Reduction Act and specifically, the provision allowing the federal government to negotiate some prescription drug prices.show that while the public is familiar with the law, they are unaware of its key health provisions.

Still, many of the law's goals have strong public support, including limiting out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for people on Medicare and capping monthly out-of-pocket insulin costs for Medicare recipients.The executive order directs the Department of Health and Human Services to "explore additional actions" it can take to lower prescription drug costs.

HHS will have 90 days to submit a report on how it will use new models of health care payment and delivery to lower drug costs "and promote access to innovative drug therapies for beneficiaries enrolled in the Medicare and Medicaid programs."

Well if he wouldn’t have trashed what Trump put in place he wouldn’t need to. And if it wasn’t midterms he wouldn’t 🥴

The big last minute vote buy of 2022. Unprecedented. All of this he could have done almost 2 years ago. 😢

All in time for the Mid-Terms hopefully!! How thoughtful!!
