Why doesn't trump address drug costs ?

[initforme]

On of dons best talking points was to adresss the price gouging on drug costs . Medicaid is the biggest buyer, and should be able to negotiate better pricing .

But bought n paid for pols have protected big pharm.

Taking on drug costs would be an easy win for Trump . With his base , and even with Dems !

What's stopping him ? Must be the evil GOP leadership selling us out to big pharm..

That's a great question! Why didn't Obama? Bush? Clinton?

The ball is in trumps court now. Let's hold that fat fuckers feet to the fire on this one. Repubs own both houses of congress and the executive branch so there's no reason why they can't get this done.

Why are democrats always expecting republicans to fix their mistakes?

I have asked that too.

Probably the only actual thing he proposed that would lower medical costs was about reducing drug costs.

I don't think he has mentioned it once since he got elected.

I guess he is to busy planning his next tweets on Russia.

I've been wondering that too but it looks like lobbyists, big pharma, & the 2003 Medicare act are preventing him.

Hopefully Tom Price & Trump can still do something about it.

Trump is addressing drug costs, he's giving huge tax breaks to wealthy people and corporations. They aren't rich enough so he's out to set things right.

It was another of his unfulfilled campaign promises. He promised he'd lower pharmaceutical prices until he had a meeting with Big Pharma reps in the Oval Office and that was the end of that promise.
Corporate cock suckerTrump bent over to his masters.

You get what you pay for. The reason that drug prices are so high is that companies have to pay for failed drugs and the long approval process if they do develop a drug successfully. The government should not be bullying companies.

The exact same drugs are available in Canada for70% less.
It's a scam by big Pharma and the US government. Bernie isthe only one that consistently advocated for the people on this issue.

We've seen how successful they've been with healthcare.
They voted to repeal the ACA 60 times and it failed each time under Obama. Now that they control the entire guv. they STILL can't repeal it.
Failure like that is hard to match.

I'm looking forward to seeing where we are in 2 years.

Knee deep in impeachment proceedings.

Trump is NOT a king! When his own convention chair was against it & you've got long term contracts involved there's nothing he could've done without fighting members of his own party. But something may still happen on this front yet.

Plus NO President keeps all their promises! They're Presidents not Kings!

Nothing will happen on this front. Trump now is a corporate puppet. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Another interesting question that you and your ilk won't ask is, why didn't Obama address the issue? Or why did Obama enter into closed door negotiation with the drug companies.

Well that would be a legitimate question if Obama was still President- and if Obama had been elected promising to lower drug costs.

But Trump is President now- and Trump campaigned promising to lower drug costs.
What has he done?

GOP chair won't back Trump on negotiating Medicare drug prices
Trump, who is expected to accept the GOP’s nomination for president in Cleveland this week, has told supporters that he would allow Medicare to directly challenge pharmaceutical companies to lower costs.

No it is a legit question because Obama caused the mess in the first place. Trump isn't a dictator like Obama tried to be. He still has to work with congress. Since a good many in congress are bought off by the drug companies it will be hard for Trump to do anything. At least he says he is trying, that's more then what Obama did.

Holy crap . I ask a question about a specific campaign promise from Trump and all you guys do was bring up Obama?

I guess Trump was just lying then. When he made these promises.

Very disingenuous to try and tie Obama's deals with the drug companies to Trump. Give Trump some time maybe he will get to yet another Obama left over.

actually it was baby bush who cut the deal with the drug companies prohibiting the government from negotiating price.

stop lying.

get your facts straight, it's the orange sociopath who thinks he can do anything he wants and force anyone to do anything that crosses his teeny little mind

again, stop lying ignoramus.

(sigh) I hold out the hope that one day you'll grow up and accept the fact that there aren't REALLY two Parties and that they both dance for the same masters.
