Let the feeding frenzy begin for politicians who have long supported drug price reform and now have a poster child for their cause—Biogen’s Alzheimer’s disease treatment Aduhelm, which secured a controversial FDA approval on Monday despite mixed trial results.

Reaction from Washington, D.C. was immediate. In a tweet, Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) called the price “unconscionable” and said that Medicare should have the right to negotiate prices directly with drugmakers.     

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) told Bloomberg that Aduhelm’s price “is further evidence that our drug-pricing system is broken.”
