Country

United States

A lawsuit has been filed by the US Chamber of Commerce against the American government seeking to revoke part of the Inflation Reduction Act that gives the government powers to negotiate the prices of some drugs directly with industry. The suit was filed on 9 June in the US District Court in Dayton, Ohio saying the legislation violates constitutional protections for free enterprise. Merck & Co Inc registered a similar complaint in the US District Court in Washington DC on 6 June.
