RFK Jr. says U.S. won’t use march-in rights for expensive drugs

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., President Trump’s nominee to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, recently addressed concerns about high drug prices and the use of “march-in rights” during his confirmation hearings. The issue of whether the National Institutes of Health should have the authority to use march-in rights to invalidate patent rights from drugmakers whose products rely on federally funded research has been a contentious topic for several administrations. Despite the potential impact on drug prices, RFK Jr. emphasized that he does not support using march-in rights as a tool to lower drug costs.

In response to a question from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) about his stance on using march-in rights to address high drug prices, RFK Jr. stated that it would not be appropriate to do so. This position aligns with his belief in protecting pharmaceutical companies’ patent rights and intellectual property. While the issue of drug pricing remains a significant concern for many Americans, RFK Jr. emphasized the importance of respecting the rights of drugmakers to maintain their patents.

The debate over march-in rights and their potential impact on drug prices has sparked discussions among policymakers and industry stakeholders. Proponents argue that allowing the NIH to use march-in rights could help lower drug costs and increase access to affordable medications. However, opponents, including RFK Jr., believe that such a policy could undermine innovation and discourage investment in research and development.

As RFK Jr. moves forward in his nomination process, his position on march-in rights and drug pricing will continue to be a topic of interest. With the pharmaceutical industry facing scrutiny over pricing practices, the role of government interventions in regulating drug costs remains a complex and evolving issue.

Overall, RFK Jr.’s stance on march-in rights underscores his commitment to upholding patent rights and intellectual property protections for pharmaceutical companies. While the debate over drug pricing and access to affordable medications persists, his confirmation as the head of the Department of Health and Human Services will likely shape future policies and decisions in the healthcare sector.
