Trump to sign executive order to cut prices of medicine to match other countries

[Seymour Flops]

iTS AN EXECUTIVE ORDER, Not a bill made into law. What's the deal?? NO congress or senate involvement?

They had their chance.

Should have nipped it in the bud, before Democrats drank that particular Kool Ade.

Your whataboutism claim doesn't negate trump's actions.
IDGAF about what Obama or the Dems did, this is about trump.

And all you got is a deflection.

You are listing things that supposedly make the right “fascist”. Yet everything you list are actual things Dems have been doing.

You just can’t stand it being pointed out.

Mar 31, 2024 — A majority of House Republican lawmakers recently released a budget plan that proposed once again banning Medicare from negotiating prescription drug prices.

The Republican Study Committee (RSC), which represents roughly 80 percent of House Republican lawmakers, accused President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats of embracing “socialist price controls that will limit access to life-saving drugs for those who desperately need them,” by enacting a pilot program allowing Medicare to negotiate prices on a handful of medicines for the first time. The budget pledges to repeal the program — which Biden recently called on Congress to expand in his State of the Union address.

“Underneath the Administration’s rhetoric about lowering prices for American consumers, the hard reality is that prescription drug socialism means higher costs and fewer treatments.

“According to one estimate, this scheme would eliminate nine times as much funding as the 2016 Cancer Moonshot initiative created.

“By another analysis, the Biden Administration’s drug pricing scheme will lead to 139 fewer medicines over the next decade.

“And that’s just on the treatment side. Over the next decade, prescription drug socialism would reportedly eliminate up to 135,900 jobs directly in the life sciences space in the United States, and up to 676,000 jobs in related fields.

“Apparently, the Biden Administration is really just out to make it harder for the world’s foremost engine of medical innovation to do what it’s best at – finding cures.

Man, remember when MAGA freaked out over Harris proposing price controls?

Sadly, like Trump it was all empty rhetoric.
