If this is or becomes too political please move this to the Bunker. I thought it would be of benefit for everyone to see it here but I was not sure.

The president has made a couple EO's today that will lower drug costs for the average American.
I wondered how legal it was but if it gets done it solves one of my problems with the US pharma rules/laws.

We sell overseas at much lower prices than we sell in the US. If they are made to offer the same deals to Americans that they do overseas our prices will be lower.

Discuss.

I don’t know.

Hope this happens; I’ll believe when I see it.

Will this bring more filthy libs to Texas?

I hope it helps lower the prices-
Hasn’t happened yet, I will welcome it it does-

The only thing keeping more filthy libs away are our MJ laws
If it ever gets legalized here, the lib gates will swing wide open.

Shoulda happened a long time ago. I’m tired of America subsidizing so many of our own citizens, let alone other nations. This is mostly big pharma doing it to us, not Uncle Sam.

Whizzed me off bad when Lance Armstrong bamboozled the Texas taxpayers into paying for his dam cancer research [censored].

The red tape in this country is absurd, and drives up costs for all kinds of things, but health care and medicine are ridiculous due to it. There are simple solutions to lower costs, but instead sledgehammers were used instead of love taps to upend the entire industry, which drove costs up, not down.

Something needs to change. I have reservations about executive orders, though.

Nothing in those orders will make Walgreens charge the same for cash customers as they are paid by insurance companies.
My Atorvastatin 40MG cost $23.94 for a 90 day supply. I have WellCare insurance. I once lost my bottle a month before it was due for a refil, the cost for one month was $170. The pharmacist said sorry, I cannot give you the insurance price.

That's horrible. We are so lucky, we have a doctor and nurse on site 2 days a week, and a mini pharmacy. There are VERY few prescription other than pain meds they can't fill right there on the spot, and the prescriptions are free.

You are being had this stuff is $15.00 for 90 day at Costco without ins and about $8 for one month.

40MG Atorvastatin is 22.99 per Costco website. Costco does not list three of my perscriptions but there are four that would save me 120.76 a year. I will check and see if they can get the other three.

I wonder what they can do for what hospitals are charging???

goodrx.com is where it's at

Check Walmart they have a list that has 100s of drugs for $10-90 days without ins.
