A democratic drama that may (or may not) be important
Meanwhile, in Washington, there were some dramas at Capitol Hill last night.
“Chairman Nancy Pelosi and a centrist Democrat were at odds over an order for the House to vote on the bill, but by sunset as the two remained in conflict over how to proceed after a series of meetings. The resolution could not be reached. ” Sahil Kapur of NBC writes:..
“A group of Democratic Party of Japan is opposed to Pelosi’s plan to begin work on budgetary measures and wait for the passage of an infrastructure bill.”
However, the Democratic Party’s efforts to adjust this infrastructure will continue until fall, so no procedural ideological conflicts have been addressed in late August. At least now.
It’s like the equivalent of a pre-season NFL game. That can be a problem. Or it may not be.
It’s still really early.

Policy of discussion with Benji: Drug trading
In First Read, we’ll look at the most important options Democrats face with their $ 3.5 trillion monthly budget. At the top of the list are ways to lower drug prices.
From a long-term policy perspective, drug prices are a major driver of medical costs.U.S. already pay More than double According to a RAND study, as in other wealthy countries, brand-name prescription drugs.The only new Alzheimer’s disease drug with suspicious benefits More than double the spending of Medicare Apartment B..
In the short term, Democrats need savings from drug price reforms to fund other medical priorities in the Democratic bill. It is also one of the most popular components and many swingseat Democrats. Aspiring to run on it In the medium term.
So far, the House model is the leadership-backed HR 3. Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden, D-Ore.Put him out Unique principle For this year’s reforms, which are broadly consistent, and President Biden Made a speech This month he called on Congress to take action.
The largest consensus item may be the upper limit of the out-of-pocket costs of Medicare Apartment D recipients. This is a concept that the Republicans endorse in their own drug bill, HR 19. Another idea of some GOP-backed savings is to request a price increase to track. Overall inflation.

Former President Trump theoretically supported Medicare negotiations, but Republicans are still largely opposed in practice.Conservative groups already Running ads Calling it a “socialist medical plan,” the drug lobby claims that it will reduce the number of prescriptions approved.Some Democrats I’m already worried More extensive reforms are underway, especially in states with a heavy industry presence, such as New Jersey.
“The reason why there is a bipartisan agreement to reform Part D’s interests to cap the out-of-pocket costs and why PhRMA supports it is because the pharmaceutical industry makes more money,” he said. Rachel Sachs, a law professor at Washington University in St. Louis, said. Louis told NBC News. “The industry has a track record of opposition to essentially every proposal that impacts revenue.”
