Fact sheetStatementPublished 25/07/31Open the original

Summary

President Trump sends letters to leading drug makers setting out steps to match U.S. prices to the lowest price in other developed nations: MFN prices for every Medicaid patient, no better prices abroad for new drugs, and direct sales to patients. The fact sheet says Americans pay more than three times OECD prices for brand-name drugs.
