Democratic Reps. Scott Peters of California, Kurt Schrader of Oregon and Kathleen Rice of New York voted against a proposal to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices during an earlier attempt.

No excuse for this - the VA did this years ago. It is all about payola from the Pharma companies in their States.

These were Reps but I think the odds are less in the Senate. America is owned by corporations.
