He has sounded really good this morning. Staying on message, good delivery, even as he shoots from the hip.

I guess we're not pro-free market anymore? What's it called when government controls the economy? Isn't that what *whispers* communism is?

Can someone provide cliff notes for those of us at work and unable to watch? Thanks in advance. Also is he going to do anything about Prior Authorizations. They have gotten out of control.

Tell me when the central government removes price controls from your money then we can talk.

I'm just trying to keep up with what the board considers "small-government conservative" from minute to minute.

Do you really think anything about a prescription drug's price is controlled by the free market?

Trump will sign an executive order to structurally create a “most favored nation” (MFN) policy toward USA drug manufacturing prices.

Americans must receive a matching price to the lowest cost sold.

A market where prices are kept secret is not a free market.

Drug prices are not free market. I don't believe they have ever been. Prices are always negotiated between governments and pharma. Trump is playing hardball for U.S. consumers.

Nope, but I know that the corrupt US government's involvement almost always creates more problems for average Americans, not fewer.

Sounds good but pharmaceutical companies and insurance companies will ignore it just like most hospitals ignore Trump's price transparency EO from his first term.

The good news is, next time you go to Walgreens and pick up your Ozempic prescription the prices should be cheaper.

Yep.

USA prices will come down, but other countries will go up.
