President Will Sign 4 EOs to Address Drug Prices

Politics

I’m a little surprised to not see a thread; or did I miss it.

President Trump issued a handful of executive orders Friday that aim to lower prescription drug prices through a variety of methods, including allowing medications to be imported from other countries.

Insulin. Hopefully these orders will help. Of course to make big changes, Congress has to get involved.

Medicare will leverage its purchasing power to negotiate prices

That could be huge.

Sorry about that. Thanks for your concern.

At the end of your article:
“This order will not be signed until the end of August, which would give the country’s largest companies time to come up with alternative solutions.”

So, nothing. Except for plenty of time for pharm to come up with fake solutions and plety of time for gentlemanly dollars to cross greasy palms.

So you might want to edit thread title.

He could have signed them today.

It was his usual Fake News.

He’ll sign him like he enacted those middle class tax cuts before the 2018 midterms.
