November will bring political change. Will it also change drug prices and PDUFA?

In five months, midterm elections will determine the makeup of a Congress that could revive or reject legislation to lower drug prices. Political strategists project that Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives. This year’s vote is a “change election,” and such elections typically do not go in favor of those in power, said Dan Todd, founder of the Todd Strategy Group. But the change in power won’t remove the pressure to do something about drug prices.
