Trump's “earth -shaking” announcement is a policy from his first term

The announcement “really shaking” that President Donald Trump was annoyed last week-and it is a policy from his first term.

Trump announced in a social post Sunday in the truth that he revives his “most preferred nation” policy for increasing drug prices, where he wants Medicaid “pay the same price as the nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the world”.

An executive regulation that led the implementation of the directive is signed in the White House on Monday morning, said the president and observed that “prescription medication and pharmaceutical prices are reduced by almost 30% to 80%”.

“The world has been wondering for many years why prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals in the US states of America were so much higher than in any other nation,” he wrote about the social truth. “Our country is finally being treated fairly, and the health costs of the citizens are reduced by numbers that have never been considered before.”

Before Trump made the announcement, Trump said that his next social contribution was “one of the most important and most effective” that he had ever published. He previously teased a “great” announcement, of which he claimed that it was a “positive development” for the country.

Trump's first attempt to issue politics in 2020 was blocked by a federal judge who said that the government had not followed the right implementation processes. It was later canceled by former President Joe Biden.

“We will do the right thing, something that Democrats have been fighting for many years,” said Trump on Sunday. “Campaign contributions can do wonders, but not with me and not with the Republican Party.”

The move will probably draw a setback from the pharmaceutical industry.

The Wall Street JournalThe editorial team of the editorial team argued last week that the politics, the “Trump's worst idea since tariffs”, will not bring the administration closer to the achievement of its target of 880 billion US dollars in Medicaid, since the government spends “ten times more for hospital payments” than for drugs.

“Even if the Republicans require the drug manufacturers to give away medicaid medication, the savings would not come almost 880 billion US dollars,” the board wrote. “The attempt to turn more money out of drug manufacturers could lead to some companies to stop participating in Medicaid.

Last week the Republican Senator Josh Hawley and the democratic Senator Peter Welch stopped prices for the fair prescription drug prices for Americans Act, who took Trump's “most preferred nation” idea.

“In his first term in office, President Trump pursued a most busy national policy to improve the competitive conditions for American patients,” said Welch. “I am glad to work with Senator Hawley in this cross -party bill, which offers the administration a template for working with the congress in order to make this goal reality.”
