The Medicare drug price negotiation program was established through the Inflation Reduction Act, which President Biden signed into law in 2022 without any Republican votes, empowering the health secretary to negotiate on behalf of Medicare.

The 15 drugs selected for negotiation include widely used medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy for diabetes and weight loss, cancer treatments, inhalers and depression medications, accounting for $42.5 billion in Medicare Part D spending in 2024.

CMS Administrator Mehmet Oz stated the Trump administration achieved substantially better outcomes than the previous year's negotiations, while Senator Ron Wyden credited Democratic efforts for creating the program that enabled these price reductions.

The negotiated price reductions range from 38 percent to 85 percent off list prices, with Ozempic priced at $277 monthly and Wegovy at $386 monthly, though Medicare already receives confidential discounts that make true savings difficult to determine.

Pharmaceutical companies opposed the negotiation program and challenged it in court unsuccessfully, with industry representatives arguing that government price setting threatens future medical innovation by reducing funds available for research.
