President Trump has already started that process, and has asked Congress to help: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/06/24/7354323....

For example, they've already started mandating drug pricing transparency in advertising: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/14/health/drug-prices-tv-ads..., but are being opposed by industry groups obviously.
