President, American Medical Association
“Physicians share their patients’ concerns with the high cost of prescription drugs. We appreciate that the Trump Administration is working to address this important issue. The Administration’s proposal for an International Pricing Index Model for Part B drugs raises a number of questions, and we need to have a greater understanding of the potential impact of the proposal on patients, physicians, and the health care system. We look forward to working constructively with the Administration as it seeks feedback.”
