From Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — Challenging President Donald Trump to make good on his pledge to cut prescription drug prices, congressional liberals proposed legislation Thursday to bring U.S. prices in line with the much lower costs in other countries.
The Democratic bills stand little chance of becoming law in a divided government. But the effort could put Republicans on the defensive by echoing Trump’s pledge to force drugmakers to cut prices.
Democrats and Trump agree that people in the United States shouldn’t have to pay more for their medications than do those in other economically advanced countries.
The Trump administration has put forward its own plan for reducing drug prices, but industry analysts have seen little impact so far. The pharmaceutical industry said the Democratic bills would “wreak havoc on the U.S. health care system.”
COMMENT:-
This is obviously just more cheap showboating.
After all, how could the Democrats possibly expect the Republicans to support something that they said they supported and which Mr. Trump said he was going to do?
The Republicans would be quite correct to totally reject this proposal to institute **C*O*M*M*U*N*I*S*M** in the United States of America.
Right?
Liberals dare Trump to back their bills lowering drug prices
