Trump claims the Big Bill cuts drug prices for us by 85%

[JohnnyRingo]

Of course he always talks it up like an auctioneer: 50... 65...80.. 85%. Sold! Then he lies that if Dems don't sign on, drug prices will somehow increase. I think they'll stay the same.

The thing is, as I understand it, the drug price reductions will be on what Medicare pays, not patients. If someone has to buy the drug over the counter Bristol Myers has no obligation to honor the Medicare price. Even private insurance companies will likely not see a savings.

The goal here isn't to lower drug prices for Americans, it's to save money that Medicare spends to apply to his MAGA Tax cut. That's all.
Co-Pays will probably remain steep.

2. How can you tell when Krasnov is lying?

His lips are moving. Drug prices are not going to go down. 90 % of generic drugs come
from India and China, China manufacturers a lot of pharmaceutical drugs, and they make
a lot of the chemical precursors that drug makers use in the manufacturing of their products.

If we had honest media and not have multibillion dollar misinformation outlets he would
not be anywhere near the White House but sitting in prison for the theft and sale of our country’s
top secrets to Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia. We executed people called the Rosenbergs for
just the same thing and ex FBI agent Robert Hansen died in our Super Max Federal Prison in
Florence, CO serving 15 life terms for the same thing too.
