Why in the world should an identical medicine sold in the UK or the EU cost 8X-to-10X less than it does in the US?
Do drug manufacturers sell their product cheaper abroad?
I really don't understand the logistics of how that can happen.

If it means I don't have to hear that guy in the background tell me how the medicine he wants me to ask my doctor about is going to kill me then I think it is a good trade off.

Seems like we could create a fast track approval (probably use a different word than "approval") process that would get potentially life-saving drugs out there for people to use at their own risk.
Government could insulate drug companies from legal repercussions as long as they could prove good faith, and everybody wins.

R&D is essential. Funding R&D is essential. However, the funding of R&D solely on the backs of US taxpayers (while the rest of the 1st World literally pays nothing) has to stop. Why in the world should an identical medicine sold in the UK or the EU cost 8X-to-10X less than it does in the US?
Agreed.

The part where he says drugs being held up by FDA that could help Patients with about 4 weeks to live, is going to be addressed. This is way too much common sense, I see why the left is losing their minds....
This is silly. The drug companies want to release novel treatments that haven't been proven to work through rigorous testing. They'll eat that shite up. They can charge whatever they want to people in dire straits. It's awful.

I can get behind this.

Think about it bro. ANYTHING that involves the federal government, ANY government, is nothing but an assload of red tape to make sure they all have their little share in say in keeping their jobs at the wasteful expense of the taxpayer.
For a prime example take a look at the US postal service. Government run and they're broke dicks every year. But hey, we gotta raise the price of stamps to make ends meet.

One true purchaser, if you want access to those markets you have to negotiate.

The same reason a house in Beverly Hills costs more than one in Okaloosa, MS.

What I've heard batted around is the idea of requiring safety but not efficacy. This is one of the hang-ups in the approval process because you can have a drug that's known to be effective in Europe or Russia but paradoxically the longer it's been around and safely used, the less likely anyone will be to fund US studies because it's off-patent and generic.
FDA is one of the few government agencies where I'm cautiously optimistic about Trump.

Yes, the tax payers will take it on the chin, for sure.

That would be a good common sense change.

Yep, Trump is going to abolish the FDA and prescription companies will be able to peddle anything they want. Scary times huh?
Jesus y'all are so defensive. It's a legit question. Regulation is important for an industry like this. I don't work in this industry but I'm assuming there's plenty of unnecessary red tape involved. If that's all that is eliminated, great. But there's also the potential this could make the FDA more careless/have to make uninformed decisions because they are rushed. Overall, this is great news to me, but it's still something worth monitoring

The same house in Beverly Hills is far more expensive than the same house in Okaloosa MS. Why?
