Trump’s Plan to Lower Drug Prices Diverges From Campaign Promise

WASHINGTON — President Trump promised on Friday to "convey taking off medication costs down to earth" by advancing rivalry among pharmaceutical organizations, and he recommended that the legislature could expect drugmakers to unveil costs in their pervasive TV publicizing.

Be that as it may, he dropped the mainstream and populist recommendations of his presidential crusade, picking not to have the central government specifically arrange bring down medication costs for Medicare. What's more, he picked not to enable American customers to import minimal effort medications from abroad.

He would rather give private elements more apparatuses to arrange better arrangements for the benefit of customers, safety net providers and businesses.

Talking in the sun-sprinkled Rose Garden of the White House, Mr. Trump said that a "tangled web of exceptional interests" had planned to keep medicate costs high to the detriment of American buyers.
