House pass­es Pelosi drug pric­ing bill on par­ty-line vote

House De­moc­rats on Thurs­day fell in line be­hind Speak­er Nan­cy Pelosi’s (D-CA) drug pric­ing bill, vot­ing for its pas­sage 230-192, with two Re­pub­li­cans vot­ing for it. The bill is not like­ly to be tak­en up in the Sen­ate, and was de­rid­ed by House Re­pub­li­cans as be­ing too par­ti­san and putting the de­vel­op­ment of many new treat­ments at risk.

Pres­i­dent Don­ald Trump, who praised the Pelosi ef­fort when it was first re­leased, lat­er turned against the bill, fur­ther en­sur­ing its de­feat.
