The Supreme Court held a hearing on October 12, 2026, regarding the government's drug pricing policy. The government stated that drug pricing policies must strike a balance between affordability and availability. However, the Supreme Court questioned the government's position, asking why it could not exercise control over the entire drug market, and cited concerns that price caps could reduce medical interventions.
