What to know

  • Trump pledged to lower Medicaid drug prices a year ago but has since scaled back the initiative from all drugs to just one or two.
  • The deadline for states to voluntarily opt in has been pushed back twice, and it remains unclear which specific drugs will be covered.
  • The program requires individual state participation, fragmenting rather than unifying the approach to lower drug prices in Medicaid.
