Senate Democrats are crafting their own proposal to lower prescription drug prices, an alternative to Speaker Nancy Pelosis (D-Calif.) plan, amid doubts about whether the far-reaching House bill can get all 50 Senate Democrats on board.
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) is taking the lead in working on the proposal, but Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumers (D-N.Y.) staff has also been meeting with outside groups and is engaged on the issue, according to people familiar with the conversations.
The flurry of activity indicates that lowering prescription drug prices is a top priority for Democrats and could be included in an upcoming legislative package along with President Bidens priorities on infrastructure and other issues in the American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan.
But the party will have to figure out how to bridge the divide between their progressive and moderate wings on drug prices, given that they cannot lose a single Senate Democrat on party-line votes. . . .
