The chart shows Medicare's negotiated price cuts on 10 widely used drugs, set to take effect in 2026. It provides details on each drug, including: 1. Drug name 2. What condition it treats 3. Manufacturing company 4. Partner company (if applicable) 5. Discount percentage 6. List price in 2023 7. Negotiated price for 2026 Key points from the data: 1. The discounts range from 38% to 79%. 2. Most drugs listed treat diabetes, but others address conditions like autoimmune disorders, blood clotting, heart failure, and cancer. 3. The highest percentage discount is 79% for Januvia, a diabetes drug by Merck & Co. 4. The most expensive drug on the list is Imbruvica (for cancer) at $14,934 for a 30-day supply in 2023, negotiated down to $9,319 for 2026. 5. The largest absolute price reduction is for Stelara, a psoriasis and arthritis drug, dropping from $13,836 to $4,965. The chart notes that these negotiated prices will take effect in 2026, and the current list prices do not reflect discounts and rebates already given to Medicare by drugmakers. This initiative aims to significantly reduce the cost of these widely-used medications for Medicare beneficiaries.
