“A group of Republican senators sent a letter to the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, the top trade group representing the drug industry, calling on companies to cooperate as lawmakers look to lower drug prices.

The letter, led by Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), also called on the companies to list any solutions they have regarding the issue. ‘We write today to ask, as the trade association representing the pharmaceutical industry, what solutions does your association have that would increase transparency and directly lower the list price of drugs for consumers?’ they wrote. ‘What specific plans do you have to address price disparities in the international market? And are you willing to work with us to find real solutions to help the American people?’

Sens. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.) and Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) joined Scott on the letter.”
