Manchin’s opposition to BBB can’t be final word on drug pricing

Senator Manchin’s opposition to Build Back Better is a major blow against lowering prescription drug prices and holding Big Pharma accountable for price gouging.

Senator Manchin’s announcement puts him on the wrong side when it comes to affordable prescriptions.
