The Spin


Democratic narrative

Finally, the US has joined the rest of the world and negotiated the prices of several medications. Now the users of these medications won't have to decide between paying the highest prices in the world for their drugs and paying for their families' basic needs. It's telling that pharmaceutical companies who are suing the government are also negotiating with the administration — even they know this is the best policy for all involved.


Republican narrative

This program has already failed. In order to ease the burden of rising premiums that have resulted from the lowering of drug prices, the Biden administration is misusing taxpayer money. This is a blatant political move to pretend this plan is working and quell voters' concerns a few months before the election. This plan won't withstand the scrutiny of the courts.
