Roses are red
Big Pharma overcharging Americans makes me blue
But Medicare can now negotiate for lower prices
And drug companies: if you raise prices past the rate of inflation, we’ll take that money back from you.

Cost-effectiveness analysis is useful,
QALYs are too,
Please don’t ban their use,
Let’s work together toward sustainable healthcare for me & you.

▪︎ broad language of this bill endangers comparative effectiveness research generally
▪︎ result is likely continued high drug prices & profits
