Vice President Kamala Harris claimed during a debate that Donald Trump promised to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices but never did. Trump’s administration pursued smaller programs to lower drug costs, but did not enact the promised negotiation policy. In contrast, President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, which allows Medicare to negotiate directly with pharmaceutical companies. This has already resulted in significant discounts on some drugs and is expected to save billions for Medicare and beneficiaries. Trump’s failure to fulfill his promise on drug price negotiation has been confirmed, making Harris’ claim true.
