Senator says people believe they are getting mugged at the pharmacy counter, particularly for insulin.
U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden says the Senate Finance Committee will try to keep medication prices in check, particularly the soaring cost of insulin, as it begins work on new legislation.
The Oregon Democrat, who leads the panel that oversees three major federal health benefit programs, said the task is difficult because of the omnipresence of drugmakers and others who want no changes. It s often estimated there are more lobbyists for pharmaceutical interests than for any other back in Washington, Wyden said in an interview Monday, June 28, with Pamplin Media Group. I know there will be a battle. But the American people believe they are getting mugged at the pharmacy counter.
