Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "Rising prescription drug spending has led the United States and other countries to seek ways to negotiate lower prices with drug manufacturers.

Testimony issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "This testimony, given by David M.
