Lankford sounds alarm over new Medicaid rule that risks disrupting patient care
Body
Senators James Lankford (R-OK) and Mike Crapo (R-ID), along with other Republican members of the Senate Finance Committee, urged the Biden Administration to withdraw problematic components of a recently proposed rule and work with Congress to develop improvements to the Medicaid program so patients have access to cuttingedge, life-saving prescription drugs. In a concerning departure from precedent, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) proposed a rule to change Medicaid Drug Rebate Program (MDRP) operations in ways that offer no material benefit for patients.
