The White House announced Friday that nine additional pharmaceutical companies have agreed to follow President Trump’s “most favored nation” (MFN) drug pricing policy, with some of the companies throwing in several months’ worth of emergency drug supplies.
The deals are the latest in a string of agreements the White House has announced with drugmakers that are aimed at lowering prices so they match what other countries pay.
“This represents the greatest victory for patient affordability in the history of American health care, by far,” Trump said at an Oval Office press conference. “The pharmaceutical companies were difficult, but they also love our country. They knew it was unfair, but they were great.”
This news is a really good thing, but of course it won't get much attention from the msm because they hate Trump. That being said if Trump can put together a meeting with the heads of Congress along with the big shots at the major pharmaceutical company's, tell them that gov't is going to come up with a plan with or without them to lower drug costs, moving forward when it comes to affordability this could benefit Americans everywhere.
