I'm pretty sure he meant a bill to keep prices low

That is the dem bill. It would turn over the W Bush law that prohibited the feds from negotiating lower prices. The feds are involved with the majority of drug purchases.

'Democrats and Republicans actually do agree on the need to reduce drug costs. '
' But with his administration firmly against the House Democratic bill, and no sign of movement in the Republican Senate, Trump’s rhetoric on Tuesday might end up being empty. '
'Recent polling by the Kaiser Family Foundation showed just 30 percent of Americans approved of his work on the issue. '
'So despite Trump’s overtures, and the forceful Democratic response, it’s going to be hard for anything to get done. '
'So a few of them stood up, held three fingers in the air, and shouted “H-R-3” (the number of their bill) — interrupting Trump for a few awkward moments in the middle of his speech. '
