Trump looking at cutting US drug prices to international levels, sources say
Source: Reuters
Drugmakers have been warned that the Trump Administration is considering linking U.S. medicine prices to lower amounts paid by other developed countries, according to two company sources who called the option the pharmaceutical industry's top concern.
Both sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly, said they expected the policy to come from the agency that oversees Medicare and Medicaid health programs.
The first source said he had been told directly by government health officials that they were exploring such a policy, which he described as a mid-level priority for the Trump Administration as it tries to lower drug prices.
The two sources said any such policy was more concerning to the industry than other government moves under discussion, which include tariffs on imported medicines. The first source said it is the biggest "existential threat to the industry and U.S. biosciences innovation."

This sounds too good to be true, it's probably more likely that Comrade Krasnov is preparing to shake down the drug industry.

... to lower prices in Big Pharma. We're supposed to believe that he cares now? Hardly. He's just waiting for the pharm execs to all stand in line and smoochy-smoochy. As soon as he figures out how to collect $ from them, it's all over.
Supposedly he can't run for office again, so there's no asking for "campaign fund donations."
I don't know ... Maybe he'll ask them to donate to his "favorite charity."
I can hear it now, all over social media. 
Then again, maybe he's planning on making Ivermectin & vitamin A less expensive for everyone?
