This bill proposes to amend Title XI of the Social Security Act, specifically targeting the Drug Price Negotiation Program . Its primary goal is to equalize the negotiation period for small-molecule drugs with that of biologic candidates. Currently, small-molecule drugs are subject to price negotiation after 7 years, while biologics have an 11-year period. This legislation would change the negotiation period for small-molecule drugs from 7 years to 11 years , aligning it with the timeline for biologics. The amendment would take effect as if it had been included in the original enactment of Public Law 117-169, ensuring retroactive application.
