The average price of prescription drugs in the United States continues to climb. Several provisions related to prescription drug pricing included in the Build Back Better Act would lower drug costs for those with Medicare and private insurance, decreasing federal government and private payer drug spending.
Limiting annual increases in drug prices through inflation rebates improves access to regular care and affordability, while generating billions of dollars in savings for the federal government and private insurers.
