Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg has released a plan aimed at reducing prescription drug costs and jump starting pharmaceutical innovation

"Time and time again, Washington has proven that it's either uninterested in or incapable of addressing this problem," the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate writes."Instead of siding with Americans, politicians have stood with corporate health care, as they did when Congress barred the federal government from negotiating with pharmaceutical companies on drug prices for seniors.

"Under his new plan, drug companies who fail to negotiate or leave negotiations before fair prices are agreed face a 65% tax on the company's sales of the drugs, with an increase of 10 percentage points per quarter until the company complies with negotiations.
