I can speak at length about the high costs of treating diabetes. I'm a pharmacist who's married to a type 2 diabetic who's facing quadruple coronary artery bypass. Wholesale prices on Lantus, Novolog and Trulicity are an outrage. Without my insurance he'd be dead.
we were promised that drug prices were going to fall dramatically in the second half of 2018. Liar in chief.
Wait....something we could actually agree on?
realdonaldtrump
Interesting! This feels like a liberal platform. There must be more to the story. Is he trying to 'get back' at someone?
Top Trump advisors: Yosemite Sam A pile of lint The voices in Trump’s head His drug dealer Best friend (the tv with channel stuck on Fox, natch)
All talk, no action
He doesn't play the stock market. Good thing, or Dems would add that to their list of made-up Trump crines.
FLConserve941 boycott the drugs and the prices Big Pharma hangs over you! Do it Now!
Prolly looking for his cut
'Mr. Trump, I'm sorry, but the price of your Adderall has gone up.' 30 seconds later...
That’s funny... isn’t all of his advisers were some kind of corporate donors?
Did the price of his adderall go up?
This is something I can get behind my husbands meds are 1500 a month 500 with insurance that is crazy
Really? Stop acting like he gives a shit.
Will realDonaldTrump attempt to negotiate or criticize as usual.
Free-market Republican? Naw. Just a failed reality TV D-list celebrity
Guess he didn't get his cut.
While they're there, let 'em figure out affordable healthcare, since Republicans are such f***ing geniuses
He said 2 years ago he’d do something! Sorry, but action speaks louder then words! It’s awful that US citizens have to pay so much for medicine!
Did they raise the price of Adderall?
Gee Trump's promise meant nothing, go figure.
Someone from a pharmaceutical company just needs to call into the meeting and yell ‘MAGA!’ on speaker phone, and then trump will give a smug grin and just adjourn the meeting.
Our President is everywhere taking date of everything to help Americans! The man barely sleeps!
Please don’t let him “negotiate” anything. We are worse off everytime realDonaldTrump gets involved
Solution: national healthcare
Fck he think was going to happen? You gut the insurance, gave corporations free will to raise prices, tariffs war that drives the stock market crazy.. This guy is bankrupting America quicker than his own business, many that's already bankrupt. But this is what White America want!
One word: REGULATION!
alpha5150 What, he doesn’t own pharmaceutical company stock Or he does, and he’s mad they didn’t go up enough for him to get his cut?
What, even he cant afford them now
His adderall price went up so he’s worried
He lied. He made announcement without shred of evidence. Plus he put Kellyanne alternative facts Conway in charge who fired many who had experience. Another TRUMP FAILURE.
Good, DO something about it realDonaldTrump, dont just ANNOUNCE you've already done something about & go back to scarfing down cheeseburgers, whining on twitter & doing nothing.
Another made up story by .
I simply don’t believe realDonaldTrump gives a crap about drug prices. Its just another ploy.
Oh no He's asking people who know more than him about the subject FOR ADVICE
impeachtheMF
He likes non-productive meetings!
Who knew healthcare was so complicated?
Looking for his piece of the pie? 💰
Greed is bad
I live in the channel islands of the uk/france, we pay to see our gp and prescriptions are free, we have a nhs which is free, we pay social security which is 6.5% from our wages till we are 65 this covers prescriptions and any medical treatment we need.
Here’s a real national emergency that needs to be investigated.
My mom almost died last year...now epipens are unaffordable & MY other medications are so bloody expensive I don't think I'm going to be able to afford them when i move out...
I had a script that was on Wal-Mart's $4 list.. It is no longer on that list after 8years. With my insurance it now cost me $47 how can this happen? This isn't the only script that was taken off list and my Medicare is charging 6 times the amount i used to pay! 😱😥
Can we lower the costs of clinical trials then? Make it easier to bring medicines to market like every other country? Also, stocks have been murdered over the last 3 years and they are making less money than they ever have. If that’s a fact then where is the money going? InsComp
There are still top officials around there? Seems to be more crickets than anything.
'Drug companies have responded with largely symbolic pledges that gave Trump the headlines he wanted without making substantive changes in how they do business or making a lasting effect' Doesn't this just sum up most of Trump's term in the White House? Apply lies where needed
Adderal going up. He doesn't have the foundation to pay them
How’s this winning? We were suppose to win BIG league! National debt raised by 2 trillion government shutdown. Mexico is not paying for the wall.
So. Trump is acting confused by the spike. He employed THE SWAMP of CEO's of big oil & big drug companies. He doesn't care about regular people. This is no surprise, as he's been campaigning for 2020 ever since Putin 'placed him in the WH'. TrumpShutdown BoycottTrumpPrimeTime
why bc he need his viagra
Thanks President Trump.
Healthcare for All should be our top priority.
But he said prices were coming down... already had come down. I don’t understand... did he lie?
So frustrating
And FDA employees are furloughed!
Nobody knew Adderall prices would go so high. 🙄
Summoned like he thinks he is a damn King. They should refuse to go.
As if Mr. 'I Alone Can Fix It' will listen! That's how realDonaldTrump got into this Syria debacle, not LISTENING to his advisors. 'No one knows more than me about (full in the blank).' He'll summons, yell, make a policy stmt, lobbyist will yell, and he'll back off! SS,DD!
Nobody knows more about healthcare than Trump...Believe me.
Of course he did... he doesn’t want to pay more for his Adderall. FBR Resist
Maybe if he'd read credible news sources which, back in July, said that drug prices would go up in January 2019, he would have KNOWN this is not some surprise. Sigh.
Adderall go up?
Because he’s the first president to GAF about the fleecing of Americans via our healthcare
The long term drug dealers.
A Mars tribune study has shown Trump voters are the largest prescription drug consumers, and they are willing to unseat anyone who cant lower the price tag. $AGA
Oh shut up! Politico does a fabulous job of parroting the SewerSwampHouse line. Why don't just call yourself FoxNews & get it over with?
Good for you pres we need to stop subsidizing others healthcare and making these drug companies to big to fail
Really?! Did the price of adderall go up?
Will they call this a “state of national emergency” ? If not what is
Why aren't I getting a cut? Was probs his concern
Another LIE
Did the price of Adderall shoot up?
Prob mad bc the adderall prices lmao
I wish this was the promise trump focused on rather than emptying our WALLets with the VanityWall.
I bet they're only five stars
Need to regulate the drug companies. They are getting away with arbitrary yearly spikes in prices even as generics come on board. 🤔 We need a real government again.. This administration is treating it like a TV show.
If pharma is making money, Don Donny wants to wet his beak.
Excellent. At least SOMEONE is trying
I love how liberals bitching even when he is trying to help.
Good thing Trump doesn't have to pay for all that adderall he snorts. The rental of the stripper's butthole can't be cheap, though.
Goodness, it's almost like he doesn't understand how capitalism works. 🙄
Is he really going to pitch a fit about having to pay more for his drugs?
Worst president in history!!!
He wants in on that sweet action.
But Trump promised us that Drug Prices would come down. He would never lie to us. Mexico is paying for the wall; right?
Somebody tell him that he’s given them everything they want and now they have no use for him. realDonaldTrump you are in government. Your tool is regulation. You’ve gotten rid of those and the regulators.
Like he’s going to be able to DO anything! His great negotiating skills have done exactly NOTHING for Americans.. just the upper 2%!
Good! And pharma needs to end pharmaceuticalreps and commercials! Save that money to discount OUR DRUGS!!!
Top officials, translation: Fox & Friends
The Republicans want people to be unable to afford healthcare. They are actively pushing for the death of millions. Why is this not being treated as a genocide?
He is trying to address the spike in drug prices and here you all are crying about it. Doesn't matter what he does some of you still find reason to whine. Must be a miserable life.
Yeah i bet he wants to know where's his cut of the money!
Who knew drug companies would prey on the American comsumer?
Amazing to see all of you children on here talking shit about the president when he's trying to fix things. Throwing around insults and bullshit. You are garbage human beings. No matter what he does, you piss and moan and insult. Grow the fuck up already.
Drugs constitute only 10% of our $3.9 trillion per year Healthcare spend. Few people address the 90% that is really our problem. Trump can't even understand it. So he goes for the low-hanging simple targets that will not help anyone
Deflection!! His favorite!!
He doesn’t want to spend too much for his Adderall.
Lol...but he alone can fix it ..😂😂😂😂
Are we turning left now?
My brother, who my husband and I help support quite a bit financially because of his poor health, just emailed me and said one of his medications will be increasing 600%. Why is that even legal?
Maybe if he knew what he was doing something would get done.
Just another episode in the Oomploompa Whitehouse farce starring none other than the un-Stable Genius.
Don’t get advice from any of these Senators, they are the Top 20 from 2018 who received pharmaceutical/health care donations.
He takes prescription hair loss pills, and he's really not a billionaire. That's why he's mad.
Interfering with the free market again?
Health care in America: 'Pay up or die'.
This idiot gets played by everyone...they already said back in December they were going to raise prices and only lowered them for a couple months because of the midterms!
The Mad King has summoned his cult....we can't have Adderall prices spiking, can we now, Imbecile-1?
can't wait to see his non-solutions!
OH PLEASE, SMOKE AND MIRRORS.
'Nobody knew health care could be complicated'-Trump
Drug prices in the US are utterly insane. We come from South Africa, and the exact same nose spray that I buy here for $220, cost me the equivalent of $20 in South Africa. Don't even get me started on the price of Tamiflu and antibiotics. It's reprehensible.
When facts get in the way of lies about drug prices going down. How much can you take deplorables? He lies to everyone. You’re being played for suckers.
He’s “frustrated” the hikes weren’t high enough.
Presidentin’ is hard …
He doesn't understand the situation. He said he and big pharma fell in love..
Rising prices is a by product of a for profit business with a high demand for their products. Until people realize the problem is the healthcare system we will continue to be at the mercy of the profit driven businesses within the industry
He wants to make us think he gives a damn.
Everything is worse since he became president!
Looks like they’ll up their donations to Trump, then everything will be okay
Ooooh you in trouble!
Start by banning the barrage of idiotic nightly drug commercials that nobody can prescribe anyway. Prescription costs shouldn't be tied to Prime Time Advertising costs. We're one of two countries in the world that does it. Doctors love when you tell them what to prescribe. pfft
how much is Viagra now?
lol - he's really frustrated - I should say frustrating.
They need only to suck up to Trump, promise him lower prices, and they'll get a complementary pat on the back tweet, and Trump will again brag of his greatness.
VoteEarlyNow So he can buy their stock cheap?
So is he gonna shout rant and swear at them too?
The Donald said he could fix this he knows more than all the generals I'm sure they said screw you Donald
