The push to lower drug pricing was a key part of the $6 trillion budget that Biden originally unveiled in late May. In that budget, the president proposed allowing Medicare, the federal health insurance program for elderly and disabled people, to directly negotiate drug prices with manufacturers—which it currently isn’t allowed to do. Medicare’s lack of negotiating power is largely blamed for the sky-high drug prices that many elderly Americans can’t afford.
