Do Medicare/Medicaid have to pay full prices for the drugs?

Drugs are far more expensive in the States, due to there being no maximum price. The NHS (or a UK private health care company) doesn't have to spend as much on drugs as what a US health insurance company would thanks to maximum price legislature.

So, if Medicare/Medicaid do pay full prices on drugs, a maximum price legislature would bring costs down quite a bit.
