White House to name first 10 drugs for Medicare negotiations early

It's nice to see the President following Donald Trump's leads on negotiations for Rx.

He also removed rules that prevented domestic pharmaceutical companies from importing drugs manufactured at their offshore production facilities, which allowed them even greater profitability. Yup, he really pressured that industry with his tax cuts just to let them know who was in charge when they pocketed that ADDITIONAL $6B in profits during just the first year they went into effect. And to really put his foot on their necks, he put Alex Azar (ex-Big Pharma exec) in charge of the country's entire healthcare portfolio. I'm surprised any Big Pharma execs could even afford to eat during Trump's reign.

All these facts mean absolutely nothing to the trump cult.

That's cuz they're programmed to respond to sound bites and buzzwords rather than fact.
