Health care: his drug pricing bill
What they say
In the October 6 debate, Barrett said he supported most-favored-nation drug pricing and cosponsored a bill on it with a Democratic colleague, so Americans do not pay more for prescription drugs than people in other developed countries. In his closing he said he has introduced legislation to lower drug costs.
What the record shows ·
Congress.gov lists him as a cosponsor of the Global Fairness in Drug Pricing Act (H.R. 3493), introduced by Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna on May 19, 2025; he joined on February 24, 2026. It would have the government plan rules setting most-favored-nation price targets, so U.S. patients pay about what patients in comparable rich countries pay. It sits in committee.
Limit: He joined as a cosponsor nine months after it was introduced. The bill has not had a vote.
