Merck sues US government to halt Medicare drug price negotiationMerck & Co (MRK.N) sued the U.S. government on Tuesday, seeking to halt the Medicare drug price negotiation program contained in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which it argues violates the Fifth and First Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Reaction 1: It is ridiculous that every other country can negotiate prices, but the USA can't.
Reaction 2: I haven't read the law (like most who voted on it or signed it), but it wouldn't surprise me if this was done in an unconstitutional manner.
Reaction 3: Could pharma reps have helped write this law, intentionally making it unconstitutional?
