WOW - that would certainly raise some eyebrows!

We want cheap drug prices & we want cures for diseases. You can’t have the cake and eat it to! We will start to see less investment in R&D if we start to squeeze it these guys.

I have said for a long time that the pharmaceutical companies would be more competitive with their rates if the public was aware of the price. Most medicines are 300 times the cost to manufacture. Maybe this will help to lower costs.

realDonaldTrump this would be such a great place hold the line and help bring down healthcare prices - lots of strange unfair drug rules.... do what is good for the people

If we had something like amazonforhealthcare then everyone especially the patient would know the price. We need to do away with predatory pricing models in healthcare and return to free market.

MAGA! All healthcare should do this

Medicine is such bullshit. “Come in for a visit, and we’ll let you know what we’ll charge afterwards!”

Trump vs Pharma Giant Bullies! Way to go, POTUS Trump!! You’re the best President ever!

Why would they be ashamed at how much they,the manufacturers make but all the middle men who are making a killing.

Shouldn’t be allowing advertising of prescription drugs to begin with

This should be a simple bipartisan agenda. But watch the lunatic left come up with a reason to bash him here

Truth in advertising, what a concept!

What could be wrong with this? Pharma, why are you upset with telling consumers how much you are going to cost? Is it that you are worried that we will be pissed off with price gouging like the Epi-pen CEO did?

JUST MAKE IT LAW, THEY HAVE THE MONEY.

Trump issues rule to require drug prices in TV ads, rejecting industry planThe Trump administration on Monday moved to require drugmakers to disclose prices in consumer ads, just hours after branding a pharmaceutical industry transparency plan as inadequate This is a huge deal and long overdue. Cheers to POTUS for taking on Big Pharma. Stop all drug advertisement. So President Trump is attempting to do something great for Americans, the Pharmaceutical industry is kicking back and FakeNews has the biased hate filled nerve to try & twist the truth to make him look bad? Like always. Absolutely disgusting! Shame on them.

Mortgage Industry Braces for Trump Administration to Make Changes at Fannie, FreddieA split Congress provides an opportunity for the Trump administration to take steps to overhaul how the government backstops more than half the U.S. mortgage market. The industry is lobbying to soften any potential changes For the White House to “lead” anything. Bwa ha ha ha ha! Does it involve stirring up fake controversy on the one hand while doing something unethical and/or unpopular with the other? If so then expect trump to “lead”. It's cute when people talk about this administration as if it is actually functional and capable of doing anything useful.

Trump and Republicans have 'completely neglected' oversight of banking industry, Maxine Waters saysRepublicans and the Trump administration have failed to scrutinize the financial services industry and that needs to change, said Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif. Waters is only positioning herself for the new term. Again, Waters is un-informed and has a negative agenda to pursue. She should NOT be on the banking committee Im perfectly okay with Maxine going after wall street and the big banks. But I will be extremely upset if she hurts community banking with the same broad strokes.
