WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said on Wednesday at a Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions hearing that he is willing to work with Democrats on lowering prescription drug prices.

“I look forward to working with you on legislation or any way that we can to get there,” Kennedy said in response to a question from Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent who votes with Democrats.
