House OKs negotiations over Medicare drug costs
The House approved a bill to require the government to negotiate drug prices for Medicare participants. The 255 to 170 vote, mostly along party lines, faces a likely veto from President Bush.

The bill would remove a noninterference clause limiting HHS involvement in negotiations.
