Trump’s Plan On Prescription Drug Prices Looks Nothing Like What He Promised
So much for an all-out assault on Big Pharma.
2016 presidential campaign, when Trump promoted himself as a different kind of Republican ― one who would stand up for average Americans and protect them from powerful corporate interests.
The drug industry was high on the list of predators. He railed against them regularly, even after taking office, famously saying drugmakers were “
getting away with murder” by charging such high prices for life-saving medications.
More controversially, Trump also endorsed an idea Democrats had long championed and Republicans had long opposed: having the federal government negotiate prices directly with drugmakers, just like the governments of other developed countries do. Name-brand drugs in those countries are far less expensive than they are in the U.S.
A year and a half into his presidency, and following some well-publicized meetings with precisely the sort of
pharmaceutical industry leaders he once denounced, Trump has backed away from that rhetoric. He’s no longer calling to have the federal government negotiate with drugmakers over prices and, more generally, he no longer identifies the drug industry as the primary culprit behind high prices.
