The following press release was published by the U.S. Congress Committee on Ways and Means on Sept. 19, 2019. It is reproduced in full below.

Washington, D.C. - Today, the top Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee Kevin Brady (R-TX) released the following statement after Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) released a proposal on drug pricing:

“While I’m confident Congress can work together to lower out-of-pocket drug costs for seniors and modernize the popular Medicare prescription drug program, this so-called government negotiation idea is more accurately a ‘dictate or destroy’ price control power that will halt valuable research into new life-saving medicines and give foreign countries dangerous influence over America’s health care system."
