Rep. Vern Buchanan, a U.S. Congressman representing Florida’s 16th district since 2007, shared updates on social media on September 23, 2025, covering pharmaceutical pricing, healthcare legislation, and international relations.
In his first post of the day, Buchanan stated: “.@BMSNews will launch its new schizophrenia drug in the UK at the same price Americans pay. This follows my push with @RepArrington to end foreign freeloading on American innovation so patients don’t pay the price. Thanks to @POTUS & @USTradeRep. https://t.co/SSZm0SJ0Mx” (September 23, 2025).
Later that afternoon, Buchanan addressed healthcare delivery options for his constituents: “92% of my constituents agree: patients deserve the ability to receive quality care in the comfort of their home. My Hospital Inpatient Services Modernization Act ensures that proven “Hospital at Home” programs continue through 2030. https://t.co/XwoivWpvAe” (September 23, 2025).
He also commented on diplomatic engagement: “Pleased to recently meet with Ambassador Touré to discuss U.S.-Côte d’Ivoire relations and opportunities for stronger engagement. As Chair of @house_democracy, I value all efforts to support transparent, democratic governance around the globe. https://t.co/2YK7t92IZT” (September 23, 2025).
