President Donald Trump announced he plans to sign an executive order on Monday that will reduce the cost of prescription drugs and pharmaceuticals "almost immediately, by 30% to 80%." Trump made the announcement on Truth Social Sunday. "For many years the World has wondered why Prescription Drugs and Pharmaceuticals in the United States States of America were SO MUCH HIGHER IN PRICE THAN THEY WERE IN ANY OTHER NATION, SOMETIMES BEING FIVE TO TEN TIMES MORE EXPENSIVE THAN THE SAME DRUG, MANUFACTURED IN THE EXACT SAME LABORATORY OR PLANT, BY THE SAME COMPANY???" Trump wrote. "It was always difficult

They were probably jacking up the prices for us to pay for their product development and testing....and letting the rest of the world off the hook... The price of my wife's meds for diabetes would knock you off your feet...and cancer meds up in the multiple bucks for ONE pill...

In effect, price controls. Will this create shortages?

We are the only nation without price controls and many other countries markedly limit what newer drugs are even available. Not sure this move of Trump's is constitutional but this is one physician tired of the US having paid for the whole damn world's drug developments.

I don’t see it as price control. The company still sets the price but now we insist on getting the best price and not the sucker price.

I despise the mainstream medicine / pharmaceutical industrial complex. They don't want cures because there's no money in that. On the other hand, there's tons of profit in prescribing expensive drugs, hospital admissions and long-term care. That's exactly why I became a self-taught expert in alternative medicine. I can cure a number of things that mainstream medicine doesn't want to cure. Over the years, I've had six or seven doctors yell at me because I dared to question or disagree with them. And for the record, my elderly father is in his 90s and he's healthy as a horse because of all of the supplements I give him. Additionally, his mind is much sharper now than it was ten years ago.

Up to 80% off just means not more than 80% price cut.

I don't see how this is going to work. Maybe Trump is just getting the attention of the drug companies to negotiate some reductions. I don't think the President can set drug prices, not without an FDR declaration of a national emergency. Medicare sets the amounts it will pay, but if they set prices too low, the distributors will stop accepting Medicare. Then, other countries do not have the per capita incomes of the USA, so they are never going to pay the prices paid in the USA. I'm told the drug companies are the most powerful lobby in DC. The lawsuits would drag on for years. We will see.

Bingo, #1 and #7! May I lovingly suggest when anyone you care for is diagnosed with cancer of any kind, get them the book ‘Cancer Revolution’ by my cancer dr, Leigh Erin Connealy, MD. She is as smart as she is beautiful! I had melanoma, then a few months later, uterine cancer. All from eating two meals a day from Taco Bell while managing the #1 Wells Fargo in OC, CA. After seeing the top cancer specialists in two different teaching hospitals in SoCal, knew chemo was not the answer, as both recommended chemo, but different chemo… By the grace of God, Dr. Connealy was 8 miles away, and by keeping records of what I ate, did more research, she sent one of my tests to Greece and it was $900 out of pocket, but healed now by the correct vitamins, good clean supplements, only organic food, and I fast after dinner until noon or so, only having good black coffee. Then usually eggs, sourdough muffins with good honey. Later 2-minute steamed broccoli most every night, dipped in Trader Joe’s yummy Chipotle Sauce! Always wild salmon, or other clean wild fish, organic turkey or grass-fed beef, and continued prayers, and walking my dear Yorkie pup, Miss GoGoQadash at least a mile each day! Helps to have dear friends, and a great Bible Church in lovely SoCal! As an aside when studying in LA at Masters U, in Santa Clarita, CA and working and traveling for the Seminary there, prayer is the secret. He hears our prayers. TBIYTC

My Mother had emphysema and was on very expensive drugs. About $1500 a month. Those same drugs in Canada cost only about $300. The drug companies are making sick US citizens subsidize Canadian citizens' big time in order to sell more. That has to stop.

#7 My daughter was being pushed to take statins for cholesterol. She said, give me 3 months to get on "red rice plus" like my mom and reteat. When she came back and tested in range, the doctor was very annoyed with her! They do not want any cure that does not require their prescription pad. If I ever get a cancer diagnosis I will go immediately to the Joe Tippen plan with ivermectin and fenben. IF it is related to parasites, this can be a cure. If it is not, chemo rarely gives any lasting cure.

Have been ordering a $600 (price with insurance) a month bottle of meds from a Canadian broker. THREE months cost $91 and change- including shipping! Just started to read a book released last month, NO MORE TEARS by Gardiner Harris. It is about Johnson and Johnson. My interest in the subject is familiarity with several employees over the years. Sounds pretty accurate so far. You can read the table of contents on Amazon to see if it interests you. True transparency- I'm reading a library copy.

Poster #7 reminds me of something I thought I knew; not so sure any more. I had excellent health insurance through my workplace for 25 years. After that benefit ran out 24 months after retirement, I had to furnish my own meds. Those dollars do not go nearly as far as they used to. Medicare sux, fully and always. The only cheap med I get is the five dollars for 3-mos of glucotrol (diabeic med). I'll try to remember to count all the blessings. Visions of Wuhan still dance in my head.

My husband died almost 9 years ago. He was diabetic and had lung problems. We had good insurance and for the most part everything (hospital stays, doctor bills) was paid for except drugs. We did have a separate drug policy but still were out between $1500 to nearly $3,000 each month! I retired early to take care of him. He was in the early stages of dementia. When he died we'd spent all of his 401k and most of mine. I don't regret that at all - our retirement travel plans mean nothing to me without him. But I often wondered what people did who were in between the very poor who seemed to get drugs for nearly free and the ones who'd put money away for retirement and used that money. I am glad something is being done for high drug prices.

Planned Parenthood’s newest annual report shows the pro-abortion organization facilitated a record number of abortions, over 402,000, and received more taxpayer funding than ever before. Planned Parenthood’s 2023-24 report says it provided 402,200 abortions during that time period, while receiving $800 million of taxpayer funding, or over $2 million daily. “For yet another year, pregnant women seeking help at Planned Parenthood are sold an abortion 97% of the time, while prenatal services, miscarriage care and adoption referrals make up a minuscule minority of the options they offer. Meanwhile their priorities include their assault on parental rights, transgender treatments, and political spending to defeat Republicans,”

President Donald Trump announced early Saturday morning that talks facilitated by the United States have led to a "full and immediate ceasefire" between India and Pakistan. The news comes just days after India launched missile strikes on Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Pakistani military bases, a move escalating tensions after a deadly militant attack in Indian-controlled Kashmir, which India blames on Pakistan. Pakistan retaliated with drone and missile attacks on Indian military targets, marking the most intense conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors in decades. Both nations accused each other of initiating the attacks, prompting international calls for de-escalation amid fears of a broader war.

The outspoken former Clinton advisor didn't mince words at Wednesday's Truth Tellers Summit, where he systematically demolished Omar's inflammatory rhetoric. Omar's comments, which initially came from a 2018 Al Jazeera interview during her congressional campaign, exposed the radical left's disturbing obsession with race-based attacks. In the interview, she outrageously claimed that Americans "should be more fearful of white men" than radical Islamic terrorists because they are "actually causing most of the deaths within this country."

These reports matter because the leftist British approach to governance is what the Democrat party desperately wants to see in America.
