They highlighted the success of their administration in negotiating lower prescription drug prices for Medicare beneficiaries, emphasizing the impact of these reductions on millions of Americans.
During the event, Harris explained the high costs of prescription drugs in the United States and the administration’s efforts to address this issue.

The presence of Maryland Democrats and residents at the event underscored the importance of the administration’s efforts to address healthcare challenges, particularly the affordability of prescription drugs.
