Trump's speech today shed light on what he was talking about here. About 24 minutes into C-SPAN's recording, he's talking about his executive order on cutting drug costs, and he mentions that he's going to make some "very rich" people behind the drug companies angry. He says he doesn't know who they are, he just knows they've been making a lot of money.

“THAT ARE UNBELIEVABLE. I ALSO SIGNED AN EXECUTIVE ORDER STOPPING MIDDLEMEN FROM TAKING ADVANTAGE OF MEDICARE PATIENTS BY CHARGING HIGHER PRICES TO THEM AND POCKETING THE DISCOUNT FOR THEMSELVES. THESE ARE SOME OF THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. EVERYONE TALKED ABOUT MIDDLEMEN. I HAVE HEARD OF THEM FOR YEARS ON PRESCRIPTION DRUG PRICES. TO BE POLITICALLY CORRECT, MIDDLEMEN AND MIDDLEWOMEN. SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT THE DRUG COMPANIES, AT LEAST THEY PRODUCE A PRODUCT, THE MEDICATION. THESE PEOPLE MAKE BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. THEY WON’T BE SO RICH ANYMORE. THIS EXECUTIVE ORDER REQUIRES THIS $30 BILLION IN DISCOUNTS TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE AMERICAN PATIENTS. THE MIDDLEMEN WILL BE KNOCKED OUT AND I WILL LOSE A LOT OF FRIENDS, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE NO IDEA WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE. “
