The Democratic leaders quoted Trump more than once on Wednesday, from when he told a crowd at a campaign rally in Exeter, New Hampshire, in February 2016,"When it comes time to negotiate the cost of drugs, we are going to negotiate like crazy."released by the White House last week cited the potential for drug manufacturers to lose money and for fewer new drugs may to enter the market as some of the reasoning for not supporting the legislation.

Another lie from trump that republicans will turn a blind eye. They will be like he didn’t say that.

About time. Go after drug companies.

1/2 Trying inject morality into greed is like climbing a political Everest. Avarice is well protected by advantage takers, and they are in control of so much...

Why does Nancy care about the cost of a impeachment ? It won't be her tax dollars that are paying for it. Be like Hillary and go to sleep, while Hillary is dreaming she is dreaming she is the president and if Nancy goes to sleep she can dream the president Trump was impeached.

Swalwell quote: “It’s not about the facts”. What a dummy.

This is what ABC post!!!!! You have not learned nothing.....

This is what the Dems should be talking about..

What else is rolled into this bill, and what is in the opposing bill? We never just got one new law at a time..

Just like Obamacare was supposed to lower insurance rates and allow you to keep your doctor, right?

I’m sure there’s more to this story... it’s a shame you can’t trust the media anymore!

Its obvious the Dems refused to pass bills on the table until they had articles of impeachment done. They think it will make them look good, well it only reinforces the coniving corrupt actions by them. They are going down in history as the lowest, most corrupt politicians ever.

Did u ask WHY Or do u just put it out there as fodder? I am NAUSEATED by ALL DEMOCRATS-House & Senate as well as MSM! These last few weeks they've PROVEN BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT-they ALL NEED TO GO! This Independent will NEVER vote for a DEMOCRAT AGAIN! Sad group of people!

he also ran on a platform of making Mexico pay for the stupid wall (which people can climb or saw through), releasing his tax returns, and making us respected again (we're not—we're the laughing stock of the world).

He also supports gutting social security, and Medicare !! Think hard boomers ....

FakeNews read the letter from GOPLeader there is another bill that has bipartisan support that realDonaldTrump will back

Everything realDonaldTrump promised turned out to be a lie. Mexico didn't pay for the wall North Korea didn't disarm US farmers are being paid NOT to farm Deficit has skyrocketed Immigration is UP Trump never released his taxes donwinslow TrumpLiesEverytimeHeSpeaks

WHAT is there to oppose? This legislation is set up to help Americans. How does it hurt a millionaire president? He certainly doesn't have to worry about paying for prescription drugs. He doesn't CARE about Americans.

Oh wow! Dems fell for it again. Like he said before, if he would have opposed the wall, Dems would have built it. He ran on reducing drug costs...you think Dems would have passed the measure if he agreed to it? Now look!....he’s gonna get it done! Suckers!!

Pretty sure the bill has a catch....

Promised he'd release his tax returns if elected. Promised that Mexico would pay for the wall he hasn't built. Promised he'd 'drain the swamp' and end corruption in Washington. Serial adulterer. See a pattern here? 🤔

What else is new Trump lied his way to the presidency

He lied? No way!!

Americans should not have to go to Canada for their meds ! because they cost to much here !
