When might we see something on the president's desk?

I’ll eat crow if we have a serious drug pricing package to the president before the end of September. It’s becoming clearer and clearer that Congress’ self-imposed deadlines are already slipping, and lawmakers are still at the early stages of stitching together this plan. (Remember, multiple bills are still discussion drafts, which still have to be formally introduced, marked up, and passed on the floor … and then comes the process of reconciling the House and Senate bills into one coherent package.)
 
But don’t just take my word for it. As one drug industry lobbyist put it: “The timelines that committee leaders in both chambers are espousing are ridiculous. I don’t see them finished in their work in either chamber before August recess. I think more is still unknown than known at this point.”
