The judge ruled that the the Department of Health & Human Services exceeded its mandate. Additionally, drug companies argued that the new requirement violated their freedom of speech. The U.S. Department of Transportation requires airlines to advertise only the final price customers pay including taxes and fees. This is to protect consumers and avoid deception. I think it’s pretty easy to justify a requirement to disclose drug prices in ads following similar logic. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this ruling overturned.
