Do you mean in the sense that he’s attempting to implement pharmaceutical price controls by EO or that he’s attempting to do it at all?
This would never pass Congress - and thank God for that. And I say that not because I’m a big fan of the notoriously influential Pharmaceutical lobby. But because it would appear that some people who matter have a modicum of economic sense about them.
And I can’t see how this stays in place. I’m not even sure Trump cares if it does or not. If anything, he may be counting on it being struck down in the courts.
But it’s a good opportunity to educate people on why the government never does anything about drug prices…despite lots of politicians expressing outrage about them.
Drug prices are a huge problem. But the biggest reason they are is because we subsidize price-controlled monopsonies around the globe.
