Democrats Warn of Trump’s Secret Plan to Hike Prescription Drug Prices
Trump’s first week in office saw the immediate repeal of numerous Biden-era executive orders, most notably Executive Order 14087 aimed at lowering prescription drug costs. This repeal eliminated programs intended to reduce generic drug prices and expand Affordable Care Act enrollment, prompting swift condemnation from Democrats. The Democrats criticized this action as a betrayal of Trump’s campaign promises and evidence of favoritism towards large pharmaceutical companies. They intend to highlight this reversal of healthcare policies to the public, despite their limited legislative power to counteract Trump’s actions.
