Biden, Sanders to take victory lap after drugmakers cap cost of inhalers

(The Hill) President Biden on Wednesday will tout Democrats’ efforts to lower the cost of inhalers after drugmakers announced plans to cap prices. The president, alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), will give remarks at the White House to highlight the crackdown on the cost of inhalers. They will also be joined by health care advocates and experts, according to a White House official.
