No matter how you structure it, government arbitration is wrong for Medicare drug coverage

Despite concerns from a broad group of stakeholders, some in Washington continue to push for imposing government arbitration on Medicare drug coverage to set the price of a medicine. Unfortunately, these proposals overlook the many ways Parts B and D have been successful over the years and better policy options that would actually be in the best interest of seniors. Take, for example, Medicare Part D. The Administration has already put forth the proposedrebate rule, which would directly benefit many seniors and lower their costs at the pharmacy counter. That ’s the right way to change Medicare, not government arbitration.
