Speaker Pelosi said it's time for Medicare to be able to negotiate with the pharmaceutical companies just like the Veterans Administration does.
– During a roundtable discussion on healthcare costs in Dallas Monday, March 21, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Democratic Congressman Colin Allred heard from Dallas County leaders, organizations, and residents about their concerns, including the high costs of prescription drugs.
“They’re saying well, we need the money for research. Really? Then stop spending it on tv. Many of the companies spend more money on TV ads then they do on research,” she said. She also expressed concern about the companies’ ability to conduct research for new cures if they must negotiate with the government.
But the two of them did agree when it comes to the amount of money taxpayers contribute to the research.
