Efforts to Increase Drug Price Transparency Run into a Legal Snag, but Federal Government is Appealing the Ruling

Nov 1, 2019

Fox Business reports that President Trump’s efforts “to force pharmaceutical companies to advertise their drug prices in television commercials has hit a roadblock, with Big Pharma taking the presidential directive to federal court.” Drugmakers Merck, Eli Lilly and Amgen challenged the rules in a lawsuit. HHS Secretary Alex Azar announced the proposed changes in May 2019. They “would require pharmaceutical companies to disclose the cost of drugs if they are to exceed $35 per month.”

From the news release of the American Association for Justice.
