Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris unveiled a plan on Tuesday that authorizes the federal government to set the rates for certain prescription drugs as a way to lower prices.
The plan, titled "People Over Profit," has similar provisions to legislation rolled out earlier this year by fellow Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont -- which Harris co-sponsored -- and to a plan President Donald Trump announced in 2018 that would allow Medicare to set the reimbursement level for certain drugs.
