Mullin, Sinema, Scott, Hassan Lead Bill to Help Provide Life-Saving Treatments and Cures for Patients

Today, U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), a member of the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, along with Sens. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), Tim Scott (R-SC), and Maggie Hassan (D-NH) will introduce the Medicaid VBPs for Patients (MVP) Act to help provide life-saving treatments and cures for rare disease patients. This bill would enable state Medicaid programs to voluntarily enter value-based purchasing (VBP) arrangements with drug manufacturers, which would give states much-needed flexibility and increase patient access to innovative drugs such as gene therapies.
