A major challenge facing Congress is what changes, if any, to make to Medicare Part D. With the apparent failure of the Democrats\u27 attempt to remove the prohibition on government intervention in drug price negotiations, the party\u27s next steps are unclear. One suggested option is a plan administered by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), to compete with private plans and facilitate a transition to a more rational structure. We discuss issues surrounding the design of such a mechanism and how it might provide a transition toward a more rational and sustainable drug benefit in the longer term
