Negotiate drug prices and expand access to generics

Allred proposes requiring Medicare and Medicaid to negotiate prices on all drugs. He would also require pharmaceutical companies to license the production of generic versions of certain expensive drugs whose research was funded by taxpayers, a policy he calls “march-in” rights. He says these steps would make prescription drugs more fairly priced and save billions in taxpayer dollars, with the goal of making medicines more affordable for Texans.

Context: The platform does not identify which taxpayer-funded drugs would qualify or specify how the licensing requirement would be implemented.
