Americans must receive a matching price to the lowest cost sold.
GSA requires it. You sign. GSA contract you are are guaranteeing that the US government gets the lowest price AND they can audit you over it.

He is in a groove right now. UK trade deal and China deal in his back pocket. Just need him to pass his one big beautiful bill and get peace over the line in a couple countries and he'll solidify himself as the best president in our lifetime.

No, we are all pro-free market. But, when the corruption of both government and big-pharma has taken advantage of the American people, I'm all about cutting their fricking nuts off.

Do you really think anything about a prescription drug's price is controlled by the free market?
I certainly think if Obama had done the same thing the entire board would have fainted.

Shouldn't you be mad that Obama didn't do it?

You must be an angry, ugly woman...

I'd say I would appreciate feedback on if you're actually a women, but I'm sure you can't tell me yourself because your party can't define what a woman is.

Why would Obama have done it? Obama was bought and paid for by big pharma and big insurance.

So the EO doesn't actually have any enforcement in it other than other countries are going to be paying more for drugs...

and then they're saying the savings are going to come to the American people on the good will of Big Pharma companies who are going to pass the savings on to us, but not forcing them to, just trusting them to, because again in the EO there's actually no enforcement of anything.


Ok. So this is nothing.

I guess we're not pro-free market anymore?


We learned a long time ago that being 100% free market actually destroys the free market. Take monopolies for example. The free market allows monopolies which in turn eliminates the free market through unscrupulous business practices as competition is blocked out of markets.

If you support the free market, then you can't also support monopolies as they destroy what you claim to support. It's the free market paradox. You can't fully support a free market if you want the most free market.

Tariffs and pharma pricing work the same way. If you leave it up to the free market, bad actors will kill the free market as we are seeing with unfair trade practices, barriers to entry, IP theft, dumping, and disproportionate pricing.

100% freedom is anarchy. You need some regulations/enforcement if you want the most prosperity possible.
