The Biden-Harris administration announced on Thursday an agreement to lower prices for 10 drugs that are some of the most expensive and common in the Medicare program.
Medicare drug price discounts range from 38% to 79% off list prices.
The federal agency estimates Medicare would have saved $ 6bn (4.7bn) if the new prices for the 10 drugs were in effect last year .
