What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

The Trump administration began implementing new drug pricing agreements aimed at reducing costs. These agreements involved the U.S. government taking a share of revenue from pharmaceutical sales in specified countries, such as Canada. Separately, the administration announced that all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico agreed to participate in a most-favored-nation drug pricing plan for Medicaid.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The pricing efforts are being challenged by a pharmaceutical lobby group that sued to invalidate the administration's benchmarking efforts in the Medicare program. The White House Council of Economic Advisers projected that the Medicaid plan could save state governments $27.6 billion and the federal government $36.6 billion over the next decade.
