    Don't be utterly delusional. Trump just halted medicare from negotiating lower prices for drugs. How the **** is trump going to bring down prices hes banning Medicare from even negotiating

    @El_Conquistador is a braindead MAGA troll. Hell say anything to defend trump

    I believe that was a part of the inflation reduction act, so Medicare can still negotiate drug prices. He hasn't stopped that yet - but I'm sure he'll try.

    What Trump just rescinded was an executive order to research and study ways to bring down medical & drug costs. So basically is is stopping the government from even trying to lower medical costs - probably even worse than halting the negotiations of drug prices.

    Do you mean one of these plans?

    “We’re going to come up with a great great health plan”
    - Donald J Trump - Dec/ 13. 2016 -

    “And this is a great plan”
    - Donald J Trump - May 4, 2017 -

    “Wait till you see the plans we have coming out literally over the next four weeks”
    - Donald J Trump - May 10, 2018 -

    “We’re going to have fantastic healthcare and the plan is coming out over the next 4 weeks”
    - Donald J Trump - May 20, 2019 -

    “We already have the concepts of the plan..we’ll be announcing that in about 2 months”
    - Donald J Trump - June 17, 2019 -

    “We’re signing a healthcare plan within 2 weeks”
    - Donald J Trump - July 19, 2020 -

    “I have concepts of a plan”
    - Donald J Trump - Sept. 10, 2024 -


    There is no plan. There will not be a plan.

    Republicans in Congress asked trump not to stop Medicare from negotiating lower prices by executive order and have them do it by legislation that way they can use the money to help off set the costs of their tax cuts. They're planning on stopping Medicare negotiating

    Uhh I guess we'll see?

    Its really not just the price caps, he's stopping the government from reaseraching,testing, and providing new ways to make drug prices lower going forward.

    This is super important to have effective health policies going forward. There was literally no reason to cut this. It wasnt just a simple EO.

    I'd be lying if I said I was expecting much. Just gotta wait and see.

    Old people b****ing about meddycare prices is enough to force Boomer News networks to put Donny on blast.

    Throughout history, every time there has been a disparity in wealth, this is what happens.

    Because the president is only interested in making his rich friends richer and screw the rest of us. The only time he seems to mention the people is when he repeats ad nauseum they gave him a clear mandate when most people who voted for him just wanted the price of their groceries to come down while still having health care. I don't believe Trump wants to help the lower/middle class. He just wants to sow chaos and have his sheep support it because he owns them.

    Since we don't want to limit the 2nd Amendment - we probably should just start arming the poor, that has worked so well for the Middle East.

    If far right armed groups are the norm, then the left should have them, too. Just saying. But, I suspect Trump would have them all arrested and throw them in prison. It only works if the armed groups support Trump.

    At this point, it doesn't matter about the liberals or conservatives. It's about money, his rich friends (regardless of liberals or conservatives), and how he's going to make more money.

    So like the infrastructure plan and his plan to replace the ACA in his first failure of a term?
