    Among the dozens of Biden-era executive orders he rescinded on day one, President Trump nixed one that aimed to explore new health care payment models that would lower prescription costs for Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries.

    Trump rescinded former President Biden’s Executive Order 14087, “Lowering Prescription Drug Costs for Americans.” He included this directive among those he deemed to be “unpopular, inflationary, illegal, and radical practices.”

    Biden’s executive order asked the Health and Human Services (HHS) secretary to look into “new health care payment and delivery models that would lower drug costs and promote access to innovative drug therapies for beneficiaries enrolled in the Medicare and Medicaid programs.”

    Anything you can do to hurt the little guy. Thankfully the max out of pocket law already took effect because we all know Trump won't be doing anything about it

    Perhaps. If one believes DOGE will find efficiency, let’s see if Musk pinpoints PBM’s. The pharma companies are aligning around the narrative “not me— go to the insurance companies”.

    I, for one, do.

    I have total confidence in Elon Musk to cut government inefficiency, in order to help people massively grift off the government tit through federal contracts.

    It's what he's been doing his entire professional life!

    Absolutely astounding, the things people Trump supporters get conned by.

    525151 won’t be able to afford his meds, but at least he got to see the libz owned by renaming the Gulf of Mexico. Hell Desantis already called it the Gulf of America in a weather alert. Double ownage.

    Sweet! Hopefully they all start calling it that. And unofficially rename some other places. Just too funny.

    Can we get them all to start wearing those ear bandages again? 20240718_212335.jpg
