President Donald Trump signs the Know the Lowest Price Act and the Patient Right to Know Drug Prices Act into law Oct. 10. (CNN/POOL)
President Donald Trump signed two pieces of legislation into law on Wednesday that aim to inform consumers about drug prices.
Both measures, the Know the Lowest Price Act and the Patient Right to Know Drug Prices Act, aim to end the drug industry’s so-called gag orders of pharmacists, which prevent them from discussing cheaper price options with consumers. These price options include discussing whether a medication may be less expensive if using insurance or paying out-of-pocket.
