WASHINGTON — President Trump finally signed a bill that he says will lower drug prices. But don’t ask him to explain how.
Flanked by members of Congress and pharmacists from around the country, Trump on Wednesday signed two bills banning so-called gag clauses, which prevent pharmacists from informing customers when it’s cheaper to buy a drug without insurance. Neither will directly lower prices; the changes will only affect what some people pay at the pharmacy counter.
But that’s not how Trump explained it.

I’m not sure what happened with drug cost the 1st of this year, if it had anything to do with Trump. But I definitely saw a lower bill on Friday when I picked up my scripts. Almost 55$ less than last month.
“Neither will directly lower prices; the changes will only affect what some people pay at the pharmacy counter.” I am not a nerd but this quote from your article clearly results in a person paying less of their money for drugs. Why is this not lower prices? The most glaring part of your essay is that you actually wrote two or three paragraphs where you forgot to crap on Trump. Why don’t you grow up and realize that the American people can see through your hate for America/Trump.
You don’t know how this is going to turn out and I never say any President at least give a damn about High prescription drugs. If he keeps it up… Maybe prices will go down.
This is extremely Critical article. You don’t know how this is going to turn out and I never say any President at least give a damn about High prescription drugs. If he keeps it up… Maybe prices will go down.

Thanks to Judy for enabling Merlin to be a more social media person.
Got to give the guy credit for trying something! Also believe that this article should have been title an “opinion” piece as there are few facts and only speculation that this will fail
The only way to lower drug prices is to allow imports from developed countries.
