Trump says he will order that the U.S. pay only the price other nations do for some drugs

President Trump says he The costs of some medications. It is an attempt to revive A program that tested and failed To implement the first term.

The order that Mr. Trump promises will lead to the United States Department of Health and Human Services To link what Medicare pays for the medicines administered in the office of a doctor at the lowest price paid by other countries.

“I will institute the most favored nation policy, Weby, United States, will pay the same price that the nation pays the lowest price anywhere in the world,” the president published on Sunday on his social media site, promising to sign the request in the White House.

“Our country will finally be treated fairly, and our citizen medical care costs will be reduced by the numbers never thought before,” Trump added.

Last week, the president caused a “very large announcement” in the Oval office, and the sources confirmed CBS News on Friday that would be the so -called “most favored nation” plan to reduce Medicare medications prices.

Trump’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also hinted at the policy on Tuesday, pointing out the high prices in Europe for the successful Diabetes drug Ozempic.

“At this time, the great impediment is really a price,” Kennedy said in an interview with Newsmax. “And we are negotiating that with the pharmaceutical companies and seeing if at least we can launch some pilot programs, or we can obtain the price low enough, we can make it available to the cost of the government for all.”

“If we did so that Medicaid, Medicare would pay it, and that private insurance companies had to pay it, we would double the cost of health insurance for most employers in this country. And that would really be destructive,” Kennedy said.

The proposal wants only certain medications covered by Medicare and Givven in an office, think of infusions that treat cancer and other injectables. Mr. Trump boasted that the plan would save the government “billions of dollars”, but the real figure is an uncle.

Medicare provides health insurance for approximately 70 million major Americans. Complaints about the prices of US medications are notoriously high, even when compared to other large and rich countries, they have long attracted the anger of the legislators of both parties, but a landing solution has never done it.

According to the planned order, the federal government would link what pays pharmaceutical companies for those medicines at the price paid by a group of other advanced economic countries.

The proposal will probably face a fierce opposition from the pharmaceutical industry.

It was a rule that Trump tried to adopt the duration of his first mandate, but he could never pass. Signed a similar executive order in the last weeks of its presidency, but a Judicial mandate Later he blocked the rule of entering into force citing problems of procedure of the duration regulation, and under the Biden administration later refused to pursue her.

The pharmaceutical industry argued that Trump’s attempt would give foreign governments the “advantage” by deciding the value of medicines in the United States. The industry has argued for a long time to force lower prices will harm the profits and, ultimately, will affect innovation and their efforts to develop new medications.

The judicial orders requested by the pharmaceutical industry and others blocked the centers for the services of Medicare and Medicaid, or CMS, of implementing the proposal in the first mandate of Mr. Trump, saying that the Government could not go through the steps of clean regulation to create and implement the policy.

The Biden administration abandoned the proposal In 2022Blaming the judicial orders that block the model and the concerns raised by the interested parties, including the fears that could cut some beneficiaries of Medicare of drugs and voltage suppliers.

It is likely that only medications in Medicare Part B, the insurance for visits to the doctor’s office, are covered by the plan. Medicare beneficiaries are responsible for collecting some of the costs to obtain those visits to the medication duration, and for traditional Medicare affiliates, there is no annual pocket limit on what they pay.

TO report By the Trump administration during his first term he discovered that the United States spends twice as much as another country to cover those drugs. Medicare part B drug spending exceeded $ 33 billion in 2021.

The most common prescription medications filled in a pharmacy would probably not be covered by the new order.

Trump entered his pharmaceutical companies on the first -term battery or “dating the murder” and complaining that other countries whose governments establish drug prices were the advantage of Americans.

On Sunday, The President Tok Aim at the Industry Again, Writing That the “Pharmaceutical/Drug Companies Would Say, For Years, That It was Research and Development Costs, and that All of these Costs were, and wouleder, for no Reasa, Altoever, term Alsever, Alsever, Alsever, Altoever, Altoever, Altoever, Alsora, Alsora, Alsora, Alsora, Alsora, Alsora, Alsora, Alsora, Alsora, Alsora, Altovera, Altoora, Altoora, Alsora, Alsora, Altoora, Altoora, Altoora, Altoora

Referring to the powerful lobbying efforts of pharmaceutical companies, he said that the contributions of the campaign “can do wonders, but not with me, and not with the Republican Party.”

“We are going to do the right thing,” he wrote.
