Gellad's Expertise Contributes to PolitiFact Ruling

June 7, 2019

Democratic presidential candidate Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) does not support single-payer health care and noted that, unlike Medicare, the VA negotiates prescription drug prices. PolitiFact asked experts in the field, CP3 Director Walid Gellad among them, to evaluate Molton's claim. "The VA does negotiate prescription prices on behalf of all VA patients, although they also benefit from a law that caps the amount they pay for prescriptions," Dr. Gellad explained.  Expert evaluations helped rate Moulton's claim as true.
