U.S. Announces Negotiated Prices for 15 Drugs Under Medicare

• The Trump administration announced negotiated prices for 15 drugs under Medicare, which, if implemented last year, could have saved Medicare $12 billion, reducing spending on these medications by 44 percent. The list includes commonly used inhalers like Breo Ellipta, as well as treatments for cancer, diabetes, and depression.
• This development is significant as it highlights efforts to lower prescription drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries, potentially improving access to essential medications and alleviating financial burdens on the healthcare system.
