Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) has fired a shot across the bow to the White House in his latest move in his quest to lower prescription drug prices in the U.S.
Sanders has vowed to oppose all health-related nominees, including President Joe Biden's nominee to lead the National Institutes of Health (NIH), until the Biden administration presents a "comprehensive" plan to address the prescription drug price crisis in the U.S.
"I will oppose all nominations until we have a very clear strategy on the part of the government ... as to how we're going to lower the outrageously high cost of prescription drugs," Sanders told The Washington Post.
