Congressman Brett Guthrie, Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and Congressman Morgan Griffith, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Health, have announced an upcoming hearing focused on prescription drug supply chain issues. The hearing is titled "Lowering Health Care Costs for All Americans: An Examination of the Prescription Drug Supply Chain" and will take place on Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at 10:15 AM ET in Room 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building.
“This marks the second hearing in our health care affordability series, confirming Republicans’ commitment to meaningfully lowering the cost of care for American families,” said Chairmen Guthrie and Griffith. “After hearing big insurance companies pledge to do more for American patients, we are continuing our commitment to the American people by calling in representatives across the entire prescription drug supply chain—pharmaceutical manufacturers, distributors, and providers—to examine the root drivers of prescription drug costs and ways to keep them both accessible and affordable. We look forward to hearing from the panelists on potential solutions to lower the cost of care for all Americans.”
The Subcommittee on Health’s session will explore how various elements within the prescription drug supply chain impact health care affordability. The event is open to both members of the public and press. It will also be livestreamed via energycommerce.house.gov.
