White House Kills Plan to Lower Drug Prices
July 11, 2019 at 10:31 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


“The Trump administration pulled one of its key proposals to lower drug prices that would have eliminated rebates to middlemen in Medicare, which President Trump’s top health official had touted as one of the most significant changes to curb medicine costs for consumers,” the Washington Post reports.

“The rule is the second major drug pricing effort to get blocked this week, complicating the administration’s efforts to make lowering prescription medicine costs a key 2020 presidential campaign issue.”

Children separated and molested at border, evading emoluments conflicts of interest; defying Supreme Court to put a Citizenship question on Census, raids being planned by ICE and deportation this weekend, fighting in court to make the ACA illegal, and now also killing plan to lower drug prices.

There is so much more....

Is America feeling the greatness?

that maybe the drug companies have "paid" the ransom to trump so he would stop any plan to cut the profits of those companies?

Of con man trump lying to the American people and doing the opposite of his claims. Only a fool believes anything he says, and he just takes advantage of people this way daily. He especially repeats his biggest lies often, remember Mexico will pay for the wall, or he'll give us a lot better health care plan, all lies.q
