Trump has made a number of advances toward lowering drug prices, causing Republicans to reevaluate their stances

Conservatives howled when Democrats pitched importing drugs from Canada and giving the U.S. government a more active hand negotiating with drugmakers to drive costs down.

The momentum may yet fizzle with the 2020 election looming. House Democratic leaders last week packaged a pair of narrow bipartisan bills addressing drug prices with a separate set of provisions to fortify Obamacare markets, a combination that’s likely to be a non-starter for the chamber’s Republicans when it comes to the floor this week.

Trump's FDA last week also made it easier for drugmakers to develop, and for patients to access, cheaper versions of certain high-costs drugs like insulin — the object of intense congressional scrutiny.Ippolito noted that some of the administration's proposals that are the furthest along are “also the ones that are relatively unlikely” to ratchet down prices.
