Today's #drugprices hearing is significant because both R's and D's seem motivated to find a solution to high costs. CEO's from 7 large companies have been "asked" to testify.

Setting the stage for tomorrow's hearing on #drugprices. Wonder if there will be some last minute rewrites on tomorrow's testimony.

US Supreme Court declined to hear Marylands #Drugpricing bill, effectively killing it. Court said the law regulated commerce outside of Maryland.
