President Trump Signs Executive Order: "Drug Prices Will Come Down"

Starting today, the United States will no longer subsidize the health care of foreign countries and will no longer tolerate profiteering and price gouging. For the first time in many years, we'll slash the cost of prescription drugs and we will bring fairness to America. Drug prices will come down. We're going to cut out the middlemen and facilitate the direct sale of drugs at the most favored nation price directly to the American citizen. I'm just so grateful to be here today. I never thought that this would happen in my lifetime. This is the.

Most powerful executive order on pharmacy pricing and health care ever in the history of our nation. By getting our allies to pay a bit more, we'll course correct a problem that's gotten out of hand. We're standing up for the American consumer who's been paying far too high prices for far too long. We didn't take an oath to heal patients and then watch their life get ruined financially. We're going to do everything we can at the FDA to support this executive order. It's transformative. Thank you, Mr. President.
