The Trump administration compares drug list prices to car sticker prices –– but that analogy implies patients have far more bargaining power than they actually do.

You morons at npr it’s a reference to price disclosure in televised ads. NPR you are worthless. Stop pretending to be a news agency and just keep it to Tiny Desk because you’re failing the intelligence of the population and you’re a disgrace to history at this point.

Drugs are much more like utilities that need to be regulated and price controled

Hey, do you want healthcare to get better or not? At least this is something.

Yet President Trump put out a comprehensive plan to lower drug prices and NPR won’t even cover it. Because deep down NPR knows it took an outsider coming into power to do what democrats and republicans never would.

This is shameful reporting. Sticker price works because it logic and first step......but the hate trump syndrome is destroying everything good deed. They would rather ppl die than give trump a victory. We see u fakenews !!!!

Also nobody’s life depends on buying a car every week or month. Wonder what Trump would think if he had to weigh his adderol against having a roof over his head.

Very good npr !! Impressive

By all means, let the guy who thinks you need an ID to buy groceries explain it for us.

Hmmmmm. I'm trying to picture how this would be worded by NPR if Trump were a 'noble' democrat. Something about Trump taking on the drug companies heroically (shaming them into showing their prices in ads and how this shame will lower prices for patients).

Come on down to Frank's! Our prices are looooow.

Deregulate.

Reason 742 on why the government should not be involved with healthcare!!

People don’t need cars to survive usually. Drugs on the other hand. Trump makes horrible analogies and is a horrible president if you can even call him a president, I don’t.

But I need to drive a specific model twice a day or I'll die from organ failure.

Far more? That denotes patients already have some bargaining power which is clearly false.

You mean that the Trump administration is full of shit? I would have never guessed

It’s almost as if he has NO idea how capitalism or finances work.

NPR Choice pageThey won't be prepared and will let Republicans run it His report was a dud and his testimony will be a dud too Mueller mueller mueller. Methinks this will be a big giant thud. Dems kinda were better off when he wasn’t testifying. Because then they could make up what he would say.

NPR Choice pageIt's just not fair that they come in their own single use soup bowl Sadly, there are no vegan turtle soup options available. I’m sure this would cure everything. It worked with hotdogs. Nobody eats hotdogs anymore. Can we bring back turtle soup, but this time the turtle'll come from Kentucky...just one prize turtle & his corrupt wife. Can we?
