I found something interesting for Elon and the Doge team regarding Medicare. In 2022, Medicare filled 85,000 prescriptions for Perfinidone at $8,000 each, totaling $680 million. At my cost-plus pharmacy, the same prescription is only $200. Filling all 85,000 prescriptions with me would only cost $17 million. Medicare is overpaying by $663 million annually because Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs) get a percentage of the cost, incentivizing them to inflate prices. The easy solution is to cancel the PBM contracts and use actual costs.

The speaker's administration will implement "most favored nations" drug pricing, ensuring Americans pay the lowest price for drugs compared to other developed countries. Some prescription drug prices will be reduced almost immediately by 50% to 90%. Big Pharma must voluntarily comply or the federal government will ensure equal pricing. To accelerate price reductions, the administration will cut out the middlemen to facilitate direct drug sales to American citizens at the most favored nation price. The speaker believes the middlemen are worse than drug companies because they don't make a product but make a fortune.

A businessman told the speaker that the same fat shot drug cost him $88 in London, but $1,300 in New York. He was stunned that the identical pill, made in the same plant by the same company, had such different prices. The speaker discussed this with drug company representatives. They argued for about half an hour, but ultimately the representative admitted there was no justification for the price difference.

The speaker claims the United States spends $1,126 per capita on drugs, while Britain spends about $240, approximately one-fifth of the U.S. figure, a trend seen across Europe. The speaker says drug companies claim America must pay for pharmaceutical innovation. President Trump is quoted as saying European partners need to increase their drug payments to cover their share of innovation, asserting the U.S. should no longer subsidize it. The speaker concludes that if Europeans raised drug prices by 20%, the resulting $10 trillion could be spent on innovation, improving global health.

The speaker states they decided to break the system, referring to drug companies, which they describe as the most powerful lobby in the world. They claim drug companies have tremendous power over the Senate, the House, governors, and everybody. The speaker notes that drug companies spend billions of dollars. Despite this, the speaker says they don't care and must do what's right.

Former President Trump claims that he was the only president to take on big pharma, but Joe Biden canceled his toughened pharmaceutical policies. Trump signed an executive order to ensure that the US government pays the same price for pharmaceuticals as other countries, saving American patients billions of dollars. However, Biden reversed this order, allowing other countries to negotiate lower prices while Americans pay high prices. Trump promises that if he is reelected, he will sign an executive order to end this unfair practice and make Big Pharma lower prices for American patients. He believes that rescinding his original order shows the power of Big Pharma, but he is determined to deliver savings for seniors and all American patients.

I am implementing a rebate that cuts out the middlemen in the drug industry, reducing costs and benefiting the people purchasing the drugs. Despite facing opposition from wealthy individuals, I believe this is our only opportunity to make a change. No other president would take the steps I am taking, such as implementing favored nations and buying from other countries at lower prices. These actions have made a lot of rich people unhappy, but I am determined to prioritize the well-being of the people over their profits.

The administration will secure "most favored nations" drug pricing, meaning Americans will pay the lowest price for drugs paid in other developed countries. Some prescription drug prices will be reduced almost immediately by 50 to 90%. Big Pharma will either abide by this principle voluntarily, or the federal government will ensure Americans pay the same price as other countries. To accelerate price reductions, the administration will cut out the middlemen and facilitate the direct sale of drugs at the most favored nation price directly to American citizens. The middlemen are considered worse than the drug companies because they don't make a product but make a fortune.

Pharmaceutical companies generate over two-thirds of their profits in the United States, despite the U.S. accounting for only 4% of the world's population. The speaker expresses respect for pharmaceutical companies and their leadership. They believe these companies successfully convinced people for many years that the existing system was fair, even though the reasons why were not well understood. The speaker claims to have figured out the reasons behind this.

I am implementing a rebate that cuts out the middlemen in the drug industry, reducing costs and benefiting the people who purchase the drugs. This has made me a target for wealthy individuals who are not pleased with my actions. However, I believe that we have a unique opportunity to make a change that no other president would dare to do. By implementing a favored nations approach and buying drugs from other countries at lower prices, we can further reduce costs. Despite the opposition from these rich individuals, I am determined to continue with this initiative.

A businessman told the speaker that the same fat shot drug cost him $88 in London but $1,300 in New York. The drugs were identical, made in the same plant by the same company. The speaker discussed this with a representative from the drug companies, who admitted there was no justification for the price difference.

I aim to eliminate middlemen and reduce costs in the pharmaceutical industry, allowing the money saved to benefit drug purchasers. Unlike drug companies, who produce tangible products, these middlemen do not contribute in the same way. My enemies, who are wealthy individuals, are displeased with my actions. However, I believe this is our only opportunity to make a change, as no other president would take such steps. This may be my last appearance for a while.

Politicians have long promised to eliminate the discrepancy between drug prices in the U.S. and Europe. This was a key issue for Bernie Sanders, but previous leaders haven't acted on it. Politicians make these promises knowing they likely won't have to fulfill them. The reason is that Congress is heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical industry. There is at least one pharmaceutical lobbyist for every congressman, senator, and Supreme Court member.

Medicare overspent on dimethyl fumarate in 2022, paying $590 million for a drug I offer at $65 per prescription. This discrepancy highlights how Pharmacy Benefits Managers (PBMs) inflate drug costs to increase their profits. Medicare's PBM charged them $3,800 per prescription when the real price is only $65. This PBM price gouging cost Medicare $580 million on just this one drug. The solution is simple: eliminate PBM contracts to save money. Also, your insurance likely uses a PBM, overcharging you too.

We are working to ensure fair pricing for drugs developed with taxpayer money. If drug companies set high prices that Americans can't afford, the government can allow other companies to produce and sell the same drug at a lower cost. This promotes competition, lowers costs, raises wages, and improves care. We are also cracking down on anti-competitive practices in healthcare, including junk health insurance plans.

A common asthma drug costs almost $500 in America, but less than $40 in The United Kingdom. The speaker highlights the significant price difference, noting one person paid a small amount for the same shot in the UK. The weight loss drug Ozempic costs 10 times more in The United States than in the rest of the developed world, according to the speaker, who questions the reason for this disparity.

I've identified wasteful spending in Medicare, specifically with generic Cialis, or Tadalafil. In 2022, Medicare spent $237 million on this drug, averaging $481 per prescription across 492,000 prescriptions. However, at my pharmacy, the same prescription costs only $14 without insurance. That means it would only cost $7 million to cover the entire country at my pharmacy's pricing. The overcharge of $230 million for just this one drug is due to pharmacy benefits managers (PBMs). PBMs manage all pharmacy-related aspects for Medicare, deciding coverage, copays, government costs, and pharmacy payments. They've essentially decided on a 3000% markup. It's time to fire the PBMs and bring prices back to reality. To check the markups on your prescriptions, visit forestparkpharmacy.com and use our price checker.

Politicians have long promised to address the discrepancy between drug prices in the U.S. and Europe. This issue was central to Bernie Sanders' presidential campaigns. However, these promises were never fulfilled because Congress is heavily influenced by the pharmaceutical industry. There is at least one pharmaceutical lobbyist for every member of Congress, the Senate, and the Supreme Court.

As a presidential candidate, the speaker plans to set drug prices based on fair market value, charging American consumers the average global price for drugs. For example, insulin prices would be impacted. If companies don't cooperate, the speaker intends to address drugs developed with federal funding. For any drug that benefited from taxpayer-funded research and development, and where companies fail to comply with pricing rules, the speaker will seize their patent. The speaker asserts this action is permissible and expresses the determination to execute it.

A common asthma drug costs almost $500 in America, but less than $40 in The United Kingdom. The speaker stated that an individual in the UK paid a small amount for their shot, contrasting sharply with the $500 cost in the US. The weight loss drug Ozempic costs 10 times more in The United States than in the rest of the developed world. The speaker questions the reason for this disparity.

Former President claims to have taken on big pharma with tough policies, but accuses President Biden of canceling them. He signed an executive order to ensure the US government pays the same price for pharmaceuticals as other countries. However, Biden rescinded this order, allegedly betraying patients and seniors. The US has been paying high prices for drugs while other countries negotiate lower prices. The former President promises to end this by signing an executive order that will only pay the best price offered to foreign nations. This will supposedly force big pharma to raise prices for other countries and reduce prices for American patients, resulting in significant savings.

Americans pay significantly more for prescription drugs than other countries, sometimes up to 10 times more. Pharmaceutical companies generate two-thirds of their profits in the U.S., effectively making Americans subsidize healthcare in other countries. The administration is introducing a "most favored nation" pricing model, ensuring the U.S. pays the lowest price available globally for drugs. For example, a breast cancer drug costing over $16,000 in the U.S. is a fraction of that price in Australia and Sweden. Similarly, an asthma drug costs almost $500 in the U.S. but less than $40 in the UK. The plan involves directing investigations into foreign nations that block drug products unless they accept low prices, and the U.S. will defend drug companies from unfair pricing demands. The administration aims to cut out middlemen and facilitate direct drug sales at the most favored nation price. If companies don't comply, the U.S. will use its trade powers and open the market to safe, legal drug imports.

Pharmaceutical companies spend three times more on lobbying than the next largest lobbyist. This issue was considered radioactive, but President Trump addressed it despite past contributions from pharmaceutical companies, which may have totaled $100,000,000. Unlike other politicians, Trump cannot be bought and is standing up for the American people. Despite claims from figures like Elizabeth Warren and Robert Reich that President Trump is on the side of the oligarchs, no president has been more willing to stand up to them than President Donald Trump. The speaker expressed pride in the President's courage and willingness to stand up for the American people.

Pharmaceutical companies spend three times more on lobbying than the next largest lobbyist. While many discussed the issue, nobody acted due to its controversial nature. President Trump, described as a man of his word, is willing to stand up to the oligarchs, unlike most politicians who can be bought. Despite allegedly receiving $100,000,000 from the pharmaceutical industry, Trump cannot be bought. The speaker praises President Trump for his courage and willingness to stand up for the American people.
