It would further make the lower drug prices negotiated by Medicare available to Americans with private insurance, not only Medicare beneficiaries. Democrats explained that their measure, which was rejected by Republicans and the pharmaceutical industry, would also "stop drug companies ripping off Americans while charging other countries less for the same drugs."

The bill died in the Senate, which was dominated by the GOP back then. Though Democrats campaigned on the matter throughout the 2020 elections.
