Trump succeeds where Washington failed on drug prices

The public pays more for prescription drugs than patients in other high-income countries — 36% more, according to an authoritative study. Those higher prices have been a painful reality for decades. Politicians of both parties have said they’d do something about it. But nothing ever happened.

President Donald Trump proved otherwise. He has delivered a rapid revolution in drug pricing – and he’s done so through bold and visionary leadership. Critics who refuse to give him credit are nothing more than political grandstanders — the same grandstanders that stifle meaningful policy reform in Washington time and time again.
