Sen. Bernie Sanders vowed on Saturday that if his 2020 bid for the presidency succeeds, he will slash prescription drug prices in half.
“Let me make a campaign promise to you ― and you can repeat this, play this tape over if I’m elected president ― and that is, if I am elected president, I’m going to cut prescription drug costs in this country by 50 percent so that we are not paying any more than other major countries are paying,” he said. “Maybe we can do better than that.”
In January, Sanders and Reps. Elijah Cummings and Ro Khanna , along with others, introduced a three-bill package into Congress, including the Prescription Drug Price Relief Act, which aims to fulfill his 50-percent goal.
