    Looks like Medicine will be more expensive soon.




    Potential tariffs could impact your medications
    Medications that come from Canada include HIV and AIDS medications, and diabetes medications. Several U.S. states, including Florida, have proposed importing insulin and other diabetes medications from Canada to reduce costs.

    Trump's tariffs' possible side effects include making pain relievers and antibiotics more expensive

    This could also stretch to key medical drugs like pain relievers, antibiotics, and cancer treatments, several of which are used in the US and manufactured abroad.

    Orange Man not bad. Americans want to pay more for pharmaceuticals. One of the reasons that they elected Trump.

    Better hope none of those meds that are now more expensive are pulmonary meds. Then, technically, he would be making deep breaths more expensive.

    Couldn’t help but notice that certain medications for non-existent conditions may become prohibitively expensive.

    Count me as someone who wants to bring all medicine manufacturing back inside our borders during a non war setting. If this helps that happen I’m all for it

    If you don’t stack them and put them in that somehow-even-worse-than-normal container, are they even Pringles?

    That one should probably actually be tariffed. Toe the line Tennessee.

    If it wasn't so pathetic the worship of Donald Trump by MAGA nation would be hysterical. Giving credit where credit is due Trump is greatest con artist in history. He has won election a second time and will impose policies that run counter to the personal self-interest of his supporter, the higher prices on drugs just one example.

    We're already number one. Trump's tariffs should increase our lead. The chart below compares drug prices among a number of countries.
