Akin lobbying & public policy senior advisor Shawn Maree Bishop is quoted by The Wall Street Journal in an article titled “Beaten Down Under Biden, Big Pharma Hopes for New Chapter Under Trump.” The piece examines key focus issues for the pharmaceutical industry at the start of President Donald Trump’s second term.  

Shawn tells The Wall Street Journal “it isn’t clear whether the Trump administration will ease up on the IRA negotiation process.” She adds, “the industry may be hoping for a pause in negotiations altogether or for changes to what they call the law’s ‘pill penalty,’ a provision that requires small molecules to face negotiation four years sooner than biologics.
