Secretary Xavier Becerra

As the Biden-Harris Administration finishes its work for the American people, I want to say that it has been an honor and a privilege to serve as your 25th Secretary of @HHSGov.

For my last post on here, I would like to reflect on all that we have accomplished.

Today, I presented @HHS_ASH, Admiral Rachel Levine, with the Distinguished Service Medal – the highest award granted to a Public Health Service officer. This is an honor she’s earned through her exceptional contributions and work to strengthen the @usphscc and its 5,600 officers.

In the studio this AM to discuss the 15 new drugs selected for Medicare price negotiations.

Today’s announcement is pivotal – the Inflation Reduction Act is lowering prices for people on Medicare so that they can have access to innovative, life-saving treatments at lower costs.

Last year we proved that negotiating for lower drug prices works.

Now we plan to build on that record by negotiating for lower prices for 15 additional important drugs for seniors.

I was in Pasadena to meet with first responders & help provide food & supplies to members of the community impacted by the fires in Southern California. The Biden-Harris Administration has made it clear: we will offer all the support we can through our very last minute in office.
