January 1, Trump Delivers Massive Win for States on Drug Prices

Wyatt’s Take

• President Trump is forcing drug companies to give every state the lowest price they offer any nation through Medicaid.
• The move locks in billions in savings for state budgets already strained by out-of-control spending.
• American taxpayers finally see relief from the same rigged pricing system that forces us to pay far more than foreigners for the same pills.

President Donald Trump has announced that all 50 states will be included in a deal to get “most favored nation” pricing for prescription drugs under Medicaid, which is projected to save state governments $27.6 billion.

The policy puts every state on equal footing with foreign countries that have long paid far less for identical medicines. State budgets stretched thin by rising costs now gain breathing room without raising taxes on working families.

Wyatt Matters

Hard-working families in the heartland have shouldered the cost of overpriced medicine for too long. This policy puts American patients and state budgets first, proving that common-sense leadership protects both pocketbooks and values.
