UnitedHealth Group Statement on Trump Administration's Drug Policy Proposal
Today, UnitedHealth Group released the following statement on the Trump Administration’s drug policy proposal:
“The fundamental issues with prescription drug affordability are the high prices set by and marketing practices of
pharmaceutical manufacturers, so we welcome the Administration’s focus on reducing drug costs. UnitedHealth Group remains committed
to offering concrete solutions to further protect consumers from rising drug prices and building programs to help make prescription
drug costs more affordable, predictable and stable – programs like our industry-first initiative to provide point of sale pharmacy
discounts for our commercial customers, and our application of advanced technology to provide drug cost transparency right in the
doctor’s office.”
