God bless President Trump for signing those four new Executive Orders recently, to force drug companies to stop selling medications at grossly inflated prices. He did what Congress has failed to do in the past 20 years. Why has Congress not acted against Big Pharma greed in the past 20 years??? Massive payoffs (bribes), called contributions, to ALL members of Congress. Drug companies have donated MILLIONS (in the past 20 years) to every single member of Congress, with one or two exceptions in the House and one or two exceptions in the Senate. How do I know?? I have done my homework, on the Internet, and by reading dozens of magazine articles, and several books on the subject of corporate greed and massive donations (bribes) to ALL members of Congress (both Democrats and Republicans).
You can bet your boots that the dozens of drug companies will have their hundreds of attorneys attack all 4 of President Trump’s Executive Orders. Big Pharma does not want to give up their 12 thousand percent markup on drugs they manufacture in China (for pennies) and sell here (for hundreds of dollars per tablet).
Again God bless President Trump for doing what the cowardly Congress has refused to do over the past 20 years. Let us all pray hard that the horde of Big Pharma attorneys will not be able to kill all four Executive Orders in the courts.

Thank You President Trump. And thank god for elections. Trump did zero on this for 3,5 years. Until he was down in the polls.
Actually, he’s been working on lower drug prices for years and long ago advocated direct negotiations: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/11/health/drug-prices-rebate-donald-trump.html
He could have signed the same executive orders years ago. He did not. He waited until he was running for reelection. In the mean time insulin went to exorbitant price levels.
You clearly know nothing about how this was developed and how it was worked through the FDA and courts for years.
I know more than you think. Clearly not much time was put into these executive orders. More than likely rushed through to give him a win. Especially since a House passed bill doing the same thing was stuck in limbo in the Senate for the last six months And that would have handled the problem as the constitution intended.
You just proved that you don’t
