(ABC 6 News) — Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar is urging the Trump administration to continue negotiating lower prescription drug prices for people on Medicare.

Last month, 15 more medications were selected for Medicare drug price negotiation. Those negotiations could lead to billions of dollars in savings for taxpayers.

“There are those of us, especially me since I authored the bill, that are going to hold them accountable for this. We want them to do good. We want them to negotiate those prices,” Klobuchar said.

Any negotiated prices would not go into effect until 2027.
