States Pass Record Number Of Laws To Reel In Drug Prices

Whether Congress will act this year to address the affordability of prescription drugs — a high priority among voters — remains uncertain. But states aren’t waiting.

So far this year, 33 states have enacted a record 51 laws to address drug prices, affordability and access. That tops the previous record of 45 laws enacted in 28 states set just last year, according to the National Academy for State Health Policy, a nonprofit advocacy group that develops model legislation and promotes such laws.

As long as we let Congress members receive unlimited donations from Pfizer, Roche, Johnson and Johnson and Merck, you won't see them doing anything to save us money.

Again Trump is the boss.

Will you be as excited about unlimited Presidential power when a Democrat is in office?

Get serious dog. That's like asking if I'd like my house burned down and my bank account drained.

You have SOME nerve to even whisper abuse of ******* power after Obama and Biden's shenanigans. Are you in complete denial or just unbelievably stupid ?

 

[wamose]

Again Trump is the boss. Trump already has granted favored nation status so that the US can get the prevailing lowest price. So if these assholes in the drug companies or the Dem. party think they're going to continue to fleece the American people on their drug prices, They're wrong. Viva Trump. First American President in 30 years.

Trump has no authority over the Drug Companies

No. Biden has no say over drug companies. Trump obviously does considering all the robber baron drug companies advertisments against his move. It's pretty obvious that Trump is a man of the people and Biden is definitely not.

 

[okfine]

So prove it with the prices. When he says he is covering PECS, is that without a raise in premiums, will there be a questionnaire?

so far nothing.

Big Pharma makes their profits off of the US. Now all of a sudden they are going to up-charge the rest of the world? Not.

Sure, man. Dems think the same thing. They can never imagine that someone they don't like will be in charge of government. They vote to have government takeover health care, and then freak out when they realize that that means Donald Trump will be in charge of their health care. You''re all jazzed about Trump bullying Big Pharma, and you'll be whining like bitches when a Democrat starts doing it in ways you don't like. You're shortsighted idiots and you're selling out our nation.

Oh, there's no doubt about that. Nothing says "big government progressive" like the President dictating to private businesses.

Trump represents a President of the people, by the people and for the people who believes in freedom and the American dream. Democrats, the media and the corporate establishment are against all that. I'll choose the optimistic America of Trump over the enslaving totalitarianism of the Dems. MAGA

Uh huh - I just think it's important for everyone to understand that Trump is NOT a conservative. He's not a defender of free markets, nor individual liberty - he stops all over the concept of limited government. He's an authoritarian, big government progressive.

A problem the republicans created in the first place. Your guy is simply trying to correct for lousy republican legislation.

n 2003, a Republican-majority Congress created Medicare Part D, which prevented Medicare, the country's largest single-payer health care system, from negotiating drug prices. In effect, drug manufacturers in the US were allowed to set their own prices resulting in the unregulated pricing variation for prescription drugs.[5] However, the government does employ drug pricing strategies for other smaller government health programs like the Veterans Health Administration, the Department of Defense, the 340B Drug Pricing Program (1992), and Medicaid.[6]--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prescription_drug_prices_in_the_United_States

I remember when Bill Bradley was a Democrat NJ Senator for 18 years, the drug companies kept him in office and he was very accommodating to them. Many of them are headquartered in north Jersey. I'm not saying neocon assholes didn't do anything for the drug companies but Bill Bradley gave more favored treatment to drug companies than anyone.

Oh and Trump does have say so over drug companies. What planet are you living on? If you look back to 2003, who was it that decided there would be no negotiations with drug companies?
There is going to be a pilot program on Part D next year HHS asked some insurance companies to participate in and I'll leave it there.
