Here`s an executive order from Cheeto that will hurt many Americans. The
idiot`s executive order to rescind Biden`s work to reduce healthcare costs in terms of prescription drug prices.
From that article above, Biden`s executive order reduced prices of prescription drugs that many Americans rely on. Trump rescinded that executive order:
Drug pricing
Trump also rescinded an executive order that prompted the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation to create three drug pricing experiments that haven’t gotten fully off the ground yet.
he first model aimed to help state Medicaid programs pay for cell and gene therapies that are highly effective but expensive. The idea was to create multi-state purchasing agreements that would allow states to not pay for drugs if they were ineffective.
CMMI has started the process of enrolling states in the pilot program, and the application is supposed to be open through Feb. 28.
The second experiment tests having Medicare pay less for drugs that receive accelerated approvals from the Food and Drug Administration. Accelerated approvals make promising drugs available to patients sooner, before it’s fully proven that the medicines actually work. The reduced payments would, theoretically, incentivize drugmakers to finish studying the medicines through confirmatory trials.
The final pilot project is designed to encourage Medicare prescription drug plans to offer generic drugs for common chronic conditions for a flat, $2 copay. The goal was to standardize copays for generic drugs and encourage patients to continue taking medications.
That means many of those dumbass MAGAs who voted for Trump are going to pay more money for prescription drugs.
