How the Build Back Better bill aims to lower drug costs

Season 2021 Episode 321 | 5m 43s

Even while President Joe Biden is promoting the new infrastructure package, he and Democrats are trying to lock down a vote on a social spending and climate bill — The Build Back Better Act. Part of that bill is aimed at lowering prescription drug prices for older Americans. Amna Nawaz takes a look at what's at stake in this bill.
