Sanders calls on Democrats to bring up drug pricing bill in Senate

[Uncle Joe]

Lowering drug prices was a key part of Democrats’ Build Back Better package, but that measure is now stalled with no clear path forward given objections from Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), which does not give them the 50 votes needed to pass.

“What I believe we have to do now is take the components of Build Back Better, starting with prescription drugs, bring it to the floor, start debate and we'll see where we go,” Sanders said.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), who joined Sanders in unveiling a drug pricing measure on Wednesday, also called for a Senate debate.

“How are you going to know if we don’t have the debate?” she said. “How are you going to know if we're just voting and voting and voting on the same stuff every single day?”
