Lower Medicare prescription drug costs

Garamendi supports allowing Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices directly and importing drugs from countries with rigorous safety standards. He says these changes would lower drug costs for Medicare beneficiaries and help make Medicare more solvent.

Context: The passage does not specify which countries or drugs would qualify for importation.
