Lower Drug Prices

 

President Donald J. Trump’s Blueprint To Lower Drug Prices

Issued on:


A BURDEN ON THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: Drug prices are being driven up unfairly, taking a toll on the American people. 
  • Excessively high drug prices, foreign freeloading, and a system rigged to reward list price increases, are burdening the American people.
    • According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the United States had the highest per-capita pharmaceutical spending in 2015.
  • Senior citizens pay more in Medicare Part B and Part D because government rules prevent health plans and vendors from negotiating the better deals seen in other markets.
