No Hotter Health Care Issue Than Drug Pricing, Lobbyist Says Legislation on prescription drugs could move quicker than other issues, a consultant told NAHU members Monday. There is no health care issue hotter than drug pricing, Jonathon Jones told members of the National Association of Health Underwriters at their virtual Capitol Conference. Jones is a partner with the government relations consultant Peck Madigan Jones. “It’s not just a Democratic priority – it has become a priority for both parties,” Jones said in looking ahead to what the Biden administration and the new Congress mean for health care. Of the major health care issues in Washington, lowering the cost of prescription drugs is the issue that enjoys the most bipartisan support, at least ideologically, Jones said. “Everyone agrees on the idea that we need to do something to change the U.S. laws to reduce drug prices.”
