    Dudes just tried to come in here and LIE. And call it a study. DO NOT BELIEVE HIM @El_Conquistador

    They were initiatives being used to lower prescription drug costs going forward.

    @HP3 needs to learn how to read a little closer. He appears to be a dishonest person trying to manipulate people. Shame. Can't step to El_Conquistador with such weakness.

    I'm over each side blaming the other as is the mission statement of this board.

    This is an issue both sides of the aisle should solve.

    Its not a study. You are lying.

    "The executive order halts an effort to cap the copayment for generic medications at $2 for Medicare beneficiaries"

    It's not a study. Please stop spreading misinformation. These are literal efforts to make policy changes going forward BY THE CMS.

    Trump stopped Biden's study on drug costs because he's got a superior plan that he plans to roll out. Today's executive order HAS NO IMPACT ON DRUG COSTS. NONE. It paves the way for Trump's plan to lower prescription drug costs. Trump is focused on taking out the MIDDLEMAN, who often makes more than the drug companies themselves.

    “We’re going to get drug costs down at levels that nobody has ever seen before.”
    -President Donald J Trump

    Stop your lies, @HP3

    Sadly i don't belive much from anyone on this board.
    One thing I belive is
    I am powerless on changing the outcome.
    It is what it is. Sucks but it's the truth.

    You know what, I hope you're right. And if he does that, I will personally come back here to apologize to you.

    billionaires can't thrive without the working class.

    this is why they are trying to get AI to be up to speed to replace the working class.

    I think there's finger pointing between big pharna and PBMs like CVS and UHC as the source of the gouging. Somehow it's become a partisan thing where one party delects blame onto the side they've chosen. Not sure if Trump is resetting negotiating table, but he can symbolically flip EOs and let his public servants silently suffer and figure it out

    It'll be fireworks if Trump curries favor with the Luigi Onlyfans crowd. Who knows wth he'll do as they're all big monopolies sucking the government and the public dry.

    Why would you think he would be doing that? There is literally no reason he had do undo this executive order. What good does it do?

    Also BUMP

    I'm saying if he was honest in shaking up an inherently corrupt and captured system, then pitting each industry against the other in order to offer the most "cost savings" would be one way to do it without getting the entire trillion dollar healthcare industry on your ass.

    Price caps might be effective in the short term but it's like spraying febreeze after a sloppy wet fart with untold unintended consequences.

    And even if Biden's policy did work, EOs are still bandages and Trump's pride and narrative wouldn't let him work on top of Joe's previous efforts.

    To lower drug prices, Trump must first raise drug prices. I don't know some of you are being so obtuse.
