Congressional debate over lowering drug prices has shifted to the U.S. Senate following House passage of the $1.75 trillion Build Back Better social spending bill on Friday.
Congress has been on break this week for the Thanksgiving holiday. It returns to work on Monday. Before the Senate can take up the bill, the Senate Parliamentarian must first decide whether its provisions align with the chambers’ rules. In addition, individual senators are expected to insist on making major changes to the bill. The House and Senate both then would have to sign off on final language before the bill could go to President Biden for his signature.
