Modern Healthcare: 5 Ways Policymakers Could Lower Drug Prices

1. Passing the CREATES Act to limit anticompetitive behavior and bolster generic and biosimilar competition
2. Eliminate "evergreening" and other monopolistic tactics, and limit the scope of citizen petitions and the Orphan Drug Act
3. Limit direct-to-consumer and direct-to-physician advertising
4. Require transparency throughout the supply chain
5. Allow the government to negotiate drug prices with manufacturers
