Washington D.C. - May 21st, 2025 - The National Puerto Rican Chamber of Commerce (NPRCC) supports efforts to reduce healthcare costs for American families. Proposals that rely on importing foreign price controls risk undermining the innovation and investment that power our domestic life sciences sector

Rather than shifting pricing power abroad, reforms should focus on addressing the real cost drivers here at home—especially the growing share taken by intermediaries such as PBMs and insurers. Ensuring that more of every dollar spent on medicine goes directly to patients will deliver greater affordability without sacrificing access to future cures.

As the United States continues to lead in biopharmaceutical innovation, it is essential that policy reinforces—not disincentives—domestic manufacturing and investment, which support jobs and strengthen supply chain resilience.
