And the ENEMY OF THE STATE Pelosi has the audacity to say that these are the actions of an "enemy of the state". I can't wait til she's hung for treason.

This is great. I'm surprised it went into effect so quickly, but who knew it would have such a dramatic effect? We've been gouged by big pharma!

Trump was underselling this!

These are much larger cuts than he stated!

I hope they repeat this several times during the RNC to take FULL credit!!!!

Why lower drug prices are bad for Americans - CCPNN

Yep... Searched for news and found nothing but articles basically saying he's killing people because now pharma won't have all that extra money for research. He really could cure cancer and be blamed for putting oncologists out of work.

Someone commented and said some companies might be making the changes early to get ready for the deadline

Perfect. Time to write thanks to the WH! I hope they talk about it everyday at the RNC! They might be surprised about it!

He signed 3 E.O. about this on July 24th and said if companies don't beforehand then this will go ineffect in 30 days.

That means this was timed to happen on the 1st day of the RNC and AFTER the DNC to make sure they can't try and grab the attention / credit from it.

4D CHESS CONFIRMED! HOLY SHIT

There is a cream I love for my eczema, it was $50 co-pay before we had to change our insurance as hubby went onto Medicare. I tried to get it.....$700 god damn dollars for a freaking tube!

I called the pharmacy today.....$85!!!! This is the only thing that actually has worked for me! I'm going to look good in my old lady bathing suit on my next vacation! Thank you sooooo much Mr. President, this stuff has really bothered me, now I can pop those shorts on and sleeveless tops once again. I love you DJT!!!

Each pill has a side-dose of Dr. Trump's patented hydroxychloroquine tincture for curing all manner of ailments including the Kung Flu, the Shanghai Shivers, the Communist Cancer, the Wuhan Wobbles, and more.

I guess any previous president could have done this, but they didn't.

Horrible thought incoming: might not lower prices for US customers as much as raise them for the countries that are getting them cheap.

26
Two_Scoops__ [S] 26 points ago +26 / -0

they are getting lowered here and my guess is they probably wont change that much for other countries. The US taxpayer has been subsidizing the rest of the world for decades and now we are done with that shit

9
johnbillaby 9 points ago +9 / -0

They'll look for those subsidies elsewhere, like raising the price for other countries where we're getting them. But it should cause the prices to equal out among countries, which is fair.

Two_Scoops__ [S] 12 points ago +12 / -0

My understanding is there's a "middle man" industry that has been raping us all these years. Maybe Trump is essentially doing away with those people? Maybe some of them will get locked up?

By the way your user name is a hate crime against the human rights of liberals' precious feefees. I salute you, Mr. Scoops.

FergieJR 3 points ago +3 / -0

When Trump signed the EO they said this middle man scraped 30 Billion dollars off the top in 2018 alone!

Also he signed all 3 EOs on July 24th to go off in 30 days. He timed this on the 1st day of the RNC and past the DNC. That is some damn marketing and planning!

Nope.

There is LEGISLATION that basically tells the Drug Companies:

Hey, we know you need to make profits, but those other countries can't afford this medicine, so you can charge whatever you want here, and we'll prevent the drugs you sell cheap overseas from re-entering so you can make your profits and not face black market competition.

Do you remember the Canadian Tourist Bus industry for Perscriptions? Big in the 90s/2000s for old people.

"YOu can get the same medicine for Pennies on the dollar!"

No one cared, no one fought for Americans.

NO ONE..... except DONALD TRUMP

12
MrTrumpsWildRide 12 points ago +12 / -0

It is lowering prices for US customers though. What do you mean?

And who cares if prices are raised for other countries? Other countries are also quite welcome to reject the false song of globalism any time they like.

1
featherwinglove 1 point ago +5 / -4

Just what I said, that it might raise prices for other countries more than it lowers prices for US citizens because big pharma is fscking greedy and gouges them instead of being more fair to the US. Not saying it won't lower prices for US citizens at all (can't anyway because it already has.)

12
MrTrumpsWildRide 12 points ago +12 / -0

That's not a horrible thought at all. Most other countries have had lower drug prices for decades, pushing up the prices of drugs to US customers. Did any of them give a shit? No, actually the opposite they laughed and gloated about the high cost of US healthcare. Fuck them.

Good. Without the subsidized Prices, their "SOCIALIZED FREE MEDICINE" fails.

AS it should.

pqsusan 11 points ago +11 / -0

Then perhaps those other countries might want to step up their games and help out their own people.

5
PeaceByStrength 5 points ago +5 / -0

Which might happen over time. Probably meeting somewhere in between...

But consider that these prices for example in Europe are only possible cause the end price is substituted by taxes and the government is buying for all citizens.. If they paid what we had to pay prior their whole socialized medicine system would collapse..FAST!

Damn I never thought of it like that! I made a meme and gave you credit for the idea! Thank you pede!

It won't. For any specific good there is an optimum price, for each economy in which it is sold, that yields maximum profit. It is ultimately based on the number of prospective consumers and their buying power. Price it too low and you lose a portion of profit no matter how many people buy. Price it too high and you lose a portion of profit due pricing out potential consumers.

Other countries get drugs for cheap due to their smaller economies. It makes no sense to charge American prices to people in a country who have a fraction of the buying power of the average American. You just make it unaffordable to these people, so they don't buy from you (or more likely ignore your patents and copy your product). Another thing to consider is that pharma companies don't have a choice in many countries with socialized medicine. Committees dictate the prices that the public health plans pay and the pharma companies have to either suck it down or go pound sand.

So yeah, pharma companies have been charging Americans exactly what they can get away with by bilking insurance companies in the wake of Obamacare. And insurance companies protected their bottom line by passing on the costs to us regular folk by skyrocketing our premiums. Our president is saying "No more of your horseshit! You cut us the same deal that you cut these poor-ass countries or you can take a hike!" And Trump knows full well that they have no capability to simply take a hike because they are totally reliant on American medical research funding.

Great explanation. One note: "Another thing to consider is that pharma companies don't have a choice in many countries with socialized medicine. Committees dictate the prices that the public health plans pay and the pharma companies have to either suck it down or go pound sand."

Who's to garantee that pharma isn't on that committee?

1
Under25BMI 1 point ago +1 / -0

This is false.

.gov prevents drugs from re-entering the country to protect the price gouging domestically to allow the drugs to be sold for pennies globally so as to prop up the "Socialized medicine" of UK/Canada etc

Fuck them.
