First 100 hours agenda item – House passes Medicare prescription drug negotiation requirement

The House of Representatives has passed part of the Democrats’ "first hundred hours" agenda (follow along at home, via Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s website), the provision that eliminates restrictions on CMS negotiating process for pharmaceuticals covered by Medicare Part D.  See earlier related HealthBlawg post here.

Update 4/18/07: The Senate deep-sixed the Part D price negotiation provision.
