Nope. If it comes to fruition I will be pleased.

Problem is, someone from the pharma industry will be around to convince him it's a bad idea.

Remember when he said he'd deal with the guns problem? Then the NRA turned up. He no longer saw a problem.

Fucking with the Constitution and the Second was a bad idea...I don’t think pharma has any Constitutional protection.

I’ll believe it when I see it


Why doesn’t Trump force the drug companies to negotiate prices like other countries do?

Seems mostly rhetoric

I think I heard Trump say he may do just that in the campaign.

When are liberals against “real Americans “?

This was one of the things I agreed wh trump. What took him so long to address this?

 

[Blarg1862]

Trump hasn't delivered anything but a bag of hot air.

He's not.
He dropped the issue after he first got into office.
And just now says no medicare drug price negotiation. Apparently the Novartis payments to Cohen paid off? $1.2 million.
He seems to be aiming for other countries to pay more for drugs, which would go over like a lead balloon.

This will be huuuuuuge asset in the 2018 election. The press will not cover it, but voters will feel it.

I didn't read the article because you have to be a subscriber. However I've had this discussion with my cousin who is a retired research doctor and yes, very liberal.

Much of the cost of drugs are because of government, so it would seem sensible to look at government to lower the cost.

My cousin sent me an article years ago from a drug manufacturers prospective. It takes anywhere from three to ten years of testing and government paperwork to get a new drug to the market. Then it has to get FDA approval. This costs hundreds of millions of dollars.

So what happens after all these years of money spending and the FDA doesn't approve of the drug for market? They transfer those losses to their other products and those existing prescriptions go up in price.

So government is the first step into lowering drug costs.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

The democrat headlines will be Trump forces pharma to raise prices.
