AI Summary

This bill amends Title XVIII of the Social Security Act to limit cost-sharing for drugs under the Medicare Part D program.

The "average net price" refers to the average amount paid under the plan, including any cost-sharing by the individual, minus any rebates or other remuneration received by the plan.
