For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY??? It was always difficult to explain and very embarrassing because, in fact, there was no correct or rightful answer. The Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies would say, for years, that it was Research and Development Costs, and that all of these costs were, and would be, for no reason whatsoever, borne by the “suckers” of America, ALONE. Campaign Contributions can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party. We are going to do the right thing, something that the Democrats have fought for many years. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that Tomorrow morning, in the White House, at 9:00 A.M., I will be signing one of the most consequential Executive Orders in our Country’s history. Prescription Drug and Pharmaceutical prices will be REDUCED, almost immediately, by 30% to 80%. They will rise throughout the World in order to equalize and, for the first time in many years, bring FAIRNESS TO AMERICA! I will be instituting a MOST FAVORED NATION’S POLICY whereby the United States will pay the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World. Our Country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizens Healthcare Costs will be reduced by numbers never even thought of before. Additionally, on top of everything else, the United States will save TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Bascially the same EO that he signed the first time around.
Will the democrats find a judge that orders Trump to raise drug prices?
Sure is!
How about an EO that bans BigPharma ads on TV?
Bet Canada’s Deep State just excreted a brick...
(Will the democrats find a judge that orders Trump to raise drug prices?)
Probably with 24 to 48 hours.
In before federal judge signs order stopping this.
And drug stores really rake in a haul with all the junk they sell: "beauty products", candy, cokes, toys, ice cream, etc.
I understand that those drugs like Ozempic are real ripoffs, like $1000 a pop.
He signed a number of them. :-)
From 2020...
“ In before federal judge signs order stopping this.”
*********************************************
And before some International, European or Canadian court tries to stop it.
Politico was first to report this days ago so I guess for once they were right..Trump tried this in his 1st term and some commie judge said NO, I want to see the left say “Oh we love big pharma and high drug costs”
“ The fourth order ensures the United States pays the lowest price available among economically advanced countries for Medicare Part B drugs. The United States often pays 80 percent more for these drugs than other developed nations.”

Above is from your 2020 post link. This current measure is MUCH BROADER. It doesn’t seem to be limited to “lowest price available to economically advanced countries” but to lowest price available to ANY country. I might be wrong based upon further details that will come out… but I’m hopeful.
I am on one drug that has long since been approved by the FDA as a generic, but Big Pharma took it to court to protect its patent, and the generic has been delayed until late 2026, assuming they don’t bribe their way into another delay.
Bristol-Meyers Squib in league with Pfizer is the problem.
Um, yeah . . .
BigPharma ads on TV = America's REAL drug problem!
AGREE!!
Has anyone else noticed that the pharmaceutical commercials around meal times have the most disgusting symptoms and side effects discussed very loudly? There’s absolutely no reason for these side effects or these medications, for that matter, to be advertised.
They don't place the ads to sell drugs.
They place the ads to own the gaslight media.
