Congress will have to act to make it permanent.

Dont recall anyone saying it was bad. Except those who called in "government overrreach" when others have tried.

Closing loopholes is fine. Executive orders bear about as much weight as a resolution.

i dont understand it either freerangethinker. Prices on everything needs to be lowered everything is just out of control.

Hard case adds nothing to the conversation, as usual. I'm not sure if this is price controls. He is closing the PBM disaster, allowing negotiations and direct prices to consumers. He also said that if prices don't come down for American consumers then he would allow us to buy medicines from other countries.

Didn't the Republicans say lowering frug prices was price control and a communist idea back in the Biden days?

King Orange is enriching his pocket. Ego needs stroking to the tune of 400-million-dollar gift. Take your brains out, wash them with Clorox, try again.

lieberals: BUT TRUMP!!!!!!

How is lowering prescription costs a bad thing?

Please help me understand why you are against any plan to lower the cost of prescriptions. I seriously don't understand.

Name something Biden tried to lower the price on?

I don't hear any MAGATS protesting about left wing, liberal, commie, Marxist, socialist price controls. If Biden had had enough balls to come down on big pharm this way the Rumplickers would have been all over it. Just in case you might think this move is in any way altruistic, consider who will suffer most from Trump's plans for medicaid.

One of the best parts of the EO is doing away with PBM's. Those should be criminalized. How can a company that gets paid a percentage of a prescription also have the final say in what a prescription costs?

That will be a better platform for Democrats than men in ladies restrooms and crossdressing soldiers. Now all you need to do is find a candidate better than the Laughing Lady and Balloon Head

Exactly!

Still wondering why these people hate America... WTF?

Trump is too busy playing golf and accepting bribes from Qatar

Cheaper US drug prices are only for nazis? Will lieberals INSIST they get to pay more as protest?

So IF Trump pulls this off, how will lieberals cry about it?

In his Truth Social post, Trump had promised to enact something he called "a MOST FAVORED NATION'S POLICY": a legal mechanism that would link U.S. drug prices to prices in peer countries and result in the United States paying "the same price as the Nation that pays the lowest price anywhere in the World."

But Trump's actual order did not do that. According to the New York Times, the document cites "no clear legal authority to force drugmakers to lower their prices"; instead, it simply "ask[s] them to do so voluntarily or face future regulatory actions or importation of drugs from foreign companies if they do not comply." At the same time, the order also "directs federal agencies to push European nations to pay higher prices for medications."

The order represents "something of a win for the pharmaceutical industry, which had been bracing for a policy that would be much more damaging to its interests," the Times added.

...

Experts say that even if Trump follows through next month, Congress will probably have to pass its own most-favored nation pricing legislation to make the new policy stick.

Yet House Republicans declined to include Trump's idea in the new health care proposal they unveiled earlier on Monday - a plan that would "cut around $700 billion from Medicaid and the Obamacare marketplaces over a decade and would cause an estimated 8.6 million Americans to become uninsured," according to the Times.

He does the Hokey Pokey! Good call hardcase! LOLOLOL

Complaining and oinking, too!
