It's alwasy gobsmacking to read some of the ill-considered comments made by certain contributors to this section. I think most all y'all will recognize to whom I'm referring. "Most Favored Nation" drug pricing includes a seriously long laundry list of significant downsides/issues that can profoundly impact or negate any potential benefits. Much has been written about this. As I frequently suggest, due to the limited space here, one can simply research "downsides to most favored nation drug pricing" - it's quite eye-opening. The Most Favored Nation concept is hardly a panacea to the healthcare and drug pricing issues in this country, and those presenting it as such are seeking to mislead, either ignorantly or deliberately.
