AARP urges courts to keep drug pricing talks on track

AARP is one of the few groups so far to have filed an amicus brief on supporting of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The suit from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and several pharmaceutical companies, including Merck (MRK) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), is asking the courts to delay the implementation of a new law that would let Medicare negotiate the prices of certain drugs.
