Sen. Josh Hawley is introducing legislation that may be more likely to garner support from Democratic colleagues across the aisle than from fellow Republicans.

Starting next month, some Medicare beneficiaries will pay less out of pocket for 27 prescription drugs whose prices rose faster than inflation late last year, the Department of Health and Human Services said Wednesday.

The House is set to vote Friday on the Inflation Reduction Act, which passed in the Senate on Sunday. Democrats have been touting the $430 billion climate, tax and healthcare bill as "life changing legislation," but with Republicans having voted to strip out any healthcare provisions not covered under Medicare, the question becomes whether the bill will have a ripple effect on drug prices for the general population.
