    Fox News cut this presentation right before this happened. How disgraceful - from a historical perspective alone.

    So Trump signed 4 EOs. Not as sweeping as he lauds them to be, a couple have no teeth and a couple will do some good. Here’s what actually happened:

    1. asking drug companies to develop a plan to lower drug prices. This EO took the place of an EO the White House was mulling to tie medicare drug prices to European prices (dirty socialists seem to get things cheaper. Kind of makes you wonder but that another topic)

    2. Ends drug maker rebates to insurance companies which never really brought drug prices down for consumers but padded both insurance company and drug maker profits. Oh did I mention the rebates are still in effect if insurance companies show a loss, and it’s so haaaard to show a loss or just raise premiums.

    3. All ones for consumers to buy drugs from the socialist countries. ( which is actually good)

    4. If insulin and epipens are negotiated at a lower price some of those savings have to be passed to the consumer. Not as big as he could have done but net/net good.

    so if you’re a consumer of medicine you can get your drugs from Canada or mexico.

    Biden’s campaign is ‘suppressing the Hispanic vote’ in Florida, an internal letter claims

    Over 90 field organizers for the Florida Democratic Party signed a scathing letter Friday to the party’s leadership, claiming among other things that the campaign is “suppressing the Hispanic vote” in Central Florida.

    Among the claims: mistreatment of field organizers, relocating trained staff members without explanation, lack of organizing resources and taking on volunteers who are then left in limbo.

    What part of 'no president has done more to lower drug prices than Donald Trump' do you disagree with?

    So I made my bones in health insurance so this should be fun. Please tell me what Donald Trump has done to lower prescription drug prices and when.

    ok. The lowering of Part D premiums predates Trump but I asked what he has done and when.

    I can tell you right now the EO he signed on Friday, allowing Americans to buy their meds from countries with socialized medicine will lower out of pocket costs for a good amount of patients right away. And once the socialist pharmacies organize themselves we should see those savings grow.

    Can you tell me anything specifically Trump did or are you just googling stuff?
