U.S. Representative Diana Harshbarger (R-TN-01) and U.S. Representative Scott DesJarlais (R-TN-04) signed on to a letter sent by the GOP Doctors Caucus to Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer warning them of the grave impact that government drug price control will have on patient care in the reconciliation package.
The GOP Doctors Caucus consists of Republican members from both chambers of the United States Congress.
“We write to express our strong opposition to the government drug price control policies in your reconciliation package. As medical providers and Members of Congress, we are deeply concerned with the harm these provisions will cause to patients across the country,” the letter begins.
The members of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate who signed then proceed to make the point that cuts proposed in the budget reconciliation will likely lead to physicians and practices going out of business.
