Drugmakers said in prepared remarks that insurers, pharmacy-benefit managers and hospitals, among others, keep a large chunk of the money Americans spend on medicine and dont pass on savings to patients.
The Trump administration plans to give employers the option not to cover birth control in their health insurance plans, weakening a requirement put in place by the Affordable Care Act.
Tom Price, President Donald Trumps secretary of Health and Human Services, has resigned after taking private and military jets at taxpayer expense while heading one of the U.S.s largest government agencies.
The FDA has selected nine major tech companies for a pilot program that may let them avoid some regulations that have tied up developers working on health software and products.
Republican senators pushing another attempt at an Obamacare repeal made tweaks to their bill this weekend to try to sway a few GOP holdouts whose votes they need.
Almost eight months after President Donald Trump took office and promised to immediately repeal Obamacare, Republican senators are instead developing a small package of changes to help the health law rather than end it.
A bipartisan group of eight governors is calling for changes to Obamacare that would increase funding under the law, enforce some of its rules on buying insurance, and encourage more health insurers to participate in the program.
