US President Joe Biden speaks about lowering healthcare costs, in the East Room of the White House in Washington, DC, on August 29, 2023.
"Boy, we've been fighting Big Pharma for a long time," Biden said Tuesday from the White House.
On Tuesday, the White House announced ten prescription drugs that will be subject to the first-ever Medicare price negotiations, which will go into effect in 2026.
"Big Pharma [is] charging Americans more than three times what they charge other countries simply because they can," Biden said.
Nonetheless, Democrats argue the president should be given a second term to, in Biden's words, "finish the job."
