House Democrats on Thursday are set to take their first major step toward lowering drug prices, but not before they make life difficult for the Republicans who helped them get there.
The House will vote on three bipartisan drug pricing bills that Democratic leaders combined with a set of proposals aimed at reversing Trump administration efforts to undermine Obamacare. The move is likely to force most Republicans to sink the package and go on record as opposing efforts to control drug costs. Mixing Obamacare with drug pricing would also effectively kill the legislation's chances in the GOP-controlled Senate.
