Josh Hawley, R-Mo., questions Attorney General nominee William Barr during a Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington. Hawley is facing conservative backlash after raising concerns with President Donald Trump’s nominee to a high-profile appeals court. The Judicial Crisis Network on Monday announced plans to spend $500,000 on Missouri ads to sway Hawley to support D.C.-area U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals nominee Neomi Rao. Hawley on Monday told KFTK 97.1 FM Newstalk’s Marc Cox that Rao doesn’t have a strong record on abortion. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, File)
Missouri U-S Senator Josh Hawley is not happy that two of his bills are going nowhere.
One of them would cap prescription drug prices in the U-S, so that they would be comparable to what they cost patients in Canada and Europe.
Hawley’s also sponsoring a bill that would cap insulin costs at 25 dollars a month for both Medicare and private health plans.
