Top Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden has outlined goals for reducing prescription drug prices, which include sticking points for Republican lawmakers wary of expanding federal interference in the United States healthcare system.

“The root causes of high drug prices are numerous, and we urgently need reforms that provide real solutions,” the Oregonian said. “Pricing reform across the supply chain can support the future of American innovation by creating the right incentives to develop new, truly valuable treatments while also ensuring American families can afford them.”
