President Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) will speak with reporters Wednesday at the White House to highlight the capping of costs for inhalers by several pharmaceutical makers.

Sanders joined other Democrats in the Senate in a letter to drug manufacturers calling for a review of prices for the breathing treatment devices. In one case, a prescription inhaler came with a price tag of $645 for Americans — 13 times higher than consumers the United Kingdom were paying.

Out-of-pocket costs for an inhaler will now top out at $35 for many U.S. patients.

Biden and Sanders, joined by health professionals, will address the media starting at 11 a.m. EDT.

Hayley's world was turned upside down when she was diagnosed with a rare form of uterine cancer which typically affects women over 70. She was then told she would have an induced menopause and need a hysterectomy - preventing her from having any more children. Following her hysterectomy, Hayley - a former image consultant - returned home for a few weeks only to begin feeling unwell again.
