President Trump signed an executive order Sunday to lower the cost of prescription drugs, linking them to the cost of the same drugs in other nations. The order repeals a July 24 executive order and expands the drugs covered originally to include those sold at pharmacies and not just those administered in doctors’ offices, as the president initially announced.
How is the executive order working? Is it putting a cap on how much big pharma can charge, or is the government subsidising part of the cost?
