YES learned lots about rebates today. The insurance companies are thieves!

If it helps consumers the Dems will be against it

I wonder if they all got lap dances from the med reps...

they want to cut medicare and medicaid so who cares?

Found it: Lower drug costs...but possible premium increase, & out-of-pocket costs. And, a possible 'trickle-dwn savings of up to 30%? Maybe. Kinda sounds like a wash. So....*where* is the great benefit for the people 🤔🤔 They need to work on that some more

CNN Waooooo, you guys are changing, even to report something like this again 😂

Elderly and people on Medicare can get extra help. It's those who have private insurance that need to see some relief in prescription prices. They pay high deductibles for dr visits then pay high copays at the pharmacy. This is where all needs to be a universal price or premiums.

But if you do not make a certain amount in Social Security benefits or disability, you qualify for extra help. Many widows could fall in these categories and could get their medicare premium paid. Most medicare d plans can be expensive but some do not have a deductible to meet.

Trump has proved me wrong time and time again. I don't think he's a messiah but he's definitely done a lot more good than you folks give him credit for.

This will die. As does everything trump touches.

Won’t really change much, if anything at the counter, just like giving the rich tax cuts raised everyone’s wages.

Trump’s Big Pharma plan will drive up medication costs tremendously. This is from the guy who promised to reduce drug costs. Why isn’t reducing medication costs for average folks, as important as the wall? Drug costs ARE an emergency! The wall is NOT an emergency.

Do an expose on Mallinckrodt, if you are brave enough.

Umm, your article doesn't match your headline. Your article says it's not clear if there will even be a benefit for people.

A proposal.

What

Trump has been on tremendous drugs for many years.

Translation: 'Mo' money, Mo' Money, MO' MONEY!'
