Trump says

Washington (AP) – President Donald Trump He said he would set a 30-day period for drug manufacturers in order to reduce the costs for prescription drugs in a comprehensive arrangement that he will sign on Monday.

The Ministry of Health, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.In order to convey new price tags for drugs, according to an official of the White House, who informed the press about the executive order before being signed.

If a deal is not complete, a new rule will occur that pays the price for what the USA pays for medication at lower prices paid by other countries.

Trump teased the executive order on Sunday evening in a social media contribution.

“I will set up a most preferred national policy in which the United States pay the same price as the nation that pays the lowest price in the world,” promised the Republican President and promised to sign the order in the White House on Monday morning.

Every year, the Federal Government spends hundreds of billions of dollars for prescription medication, injections, transfusions and other medications by Medicare that cover almost 70 million older Americans.

The leading pharmaceutical lobby of the nation on Sunday returned it and described it as “bad business” for American patients. Drug makers have long argued that all threats to their profits could influence research that they could have to develop to develop new medication.

“Importing foreign prices are reduced by Medicare billions of dollars without helping patients or improving their access to medication,” said Stephen J. Ubl, President and CEO of Phrma. “It endangers the hundreds of billions that are planning to invest our member companies in America and make us more in China for innovative medication.”

Trump's so -called “most preferred nation” approach for the Medicare medication prices has tried to implement it for the first time since his first term. He signed A similar execution regulation In the last few weeks of his presidency, which asked that the United States only pay a lower price that other countries pay for drugs that were administered in a doctor's office.

But even this closer executive order were with hurdles A court decision This blocked that the rule came into force under the administration of President Joe Biden. The pharmaceutical industry argued that Trump's 2020 attempt would give foreign governments the “upper hand” to decide the value of medication in the USA

Trump has announced the announcement and explained that it will save taxpayers with great money.

“Our country is finally treated fairly, and the health costs of the citizens are reduced by numbers that have never been thought of before,” added Trump.

He has advertised immediate savings, but the health department is limited to control drug prices. It has the greatest authority for drug prices it pays for Medicare and Medicaid, which covers around 80 million arms and disabled Americans. The price that millions of Americans have insured by private insurance pay for drugs If the agency falls more difficult to manipulate.

Trump boasted in his post that the plan “Billion Dollar” would save.

The Executive Ordinance will also encourage the Ministry of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission to check enforcement measures that the agencies can take over to pricing drugs.

Compared to other large and wealthy countries, the United States routinely transfers other nations about pharmaceutical prices, a problem that has long been anger of both large political parties, but a permanent solution has never released the congress.

Trump occurred into his first term in which pharmaceutical companies “get away with murder” and complained that other countries whose governments set the drug prices that used the Americans.

On Sunday, Trump again aimed at the industry and wrote that the “drug/pharmaceutical companies would say for years that it was research and development costs and that all these costs alone would be borne by the 'Suckers' of America.

With reference to the mighty lobby efforts by the drugstores, he said that campaign contributions can “do miracles, but not with me and not with the Republican party”.

“We'll do the right thing,” he wrote.
