What are the odds that legislation will be passed to lower drug prices?

maybe you should read your own article. I was actually looking forward to hearing about Manchin's opposition, but I was disappointed.

there are 17 Physicians in Congress right now

2 D's (both in the House, from CA) and 15 R's.

2 R pharmacists

I wonder how often the leadership asks these people what to do about healthcare and drug costs, and then actually attempts to put that into law?

Big pharma owns congress.
