24 Partner Organizations Voice Concern to Congress with Including MFN Drug Pricing Model in Reconciliation Package

The Trade Alliance to Promote Prosperity and 23 Partner Organizations today delivered a letter to U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson and U.S. Senate Majority Leader John Thune to express strong opposition to the potential inclusion of a "Most Favored Nation" (MFN) drug pricing model in the forthcoming budget reconciliation package.

In the letter, spearheaded by the Coalition Against Socialized Medicine, the organizations wrote, "This policy would tie U.S. drug prices to those set by foreign governments. Many of these countries have socialist single-payer healthcare systems and impose strict price controls that delay or deny access to lifesaving treatments. Bringing those policies into our own healthcare system would threaten vulnerable patients, weaken American innovation, and replace market-driven competition with government-dictated prices...

"This is a critical moment. The MFN model is not real reform. It is a deeply flawed proposal that would put foreign bureaucrats in charge of decisions that should be made by American patients and doctors. We respectfully urge you to reject this policy and support solutions that protect innovation, strengthen access and affordability, and put America first."
